Food, Films and Flousies

After work I picked Peter up from the railway station at Brockenhurst, it was a lovely drive through the Forest on the way and as it was semi light, Lyndhurst looked beautiful with the lights in the shop windows sparkling with their Christmas lights (yes I know it was still October yesterday!)

Anyway, collected Peter and then went to the Sir John Barleycorn for a meal which was lovely, if a little pricey. We savoured our meal until 7.30pm and then went on to the cinema to see Run, Fatboy Run which we enjoyed although our seats (which were the expensive ones) were hideously uncomfortable.

On our way and in, and out, of the cinema we had to push past hoards of teenagers waiting to go into a disco. To say that the girls were scantily clad would be an under statement (Peter said he hadn’t noticed – hmmmmm).

Anyway, our Trick or Treat, avoidance plan worked and we didn’t encounter any and any coming to our home would have been sadly disappointed. Sorry, but I’ve gone very bah humbug about Halloween – a straw poll at my office resulted in about 70% of people saying they either stayed in with the lights off and curtains drawn so as to appear out or actually went out (me thinks that restaurants and cinemas must make lots of money that night!)
