Adventurous day with my Mama

On Saturday 25^th January I visited the Villiers Hotel in Buckingham. It is truly one of the nicest restaurants I have been to. Sitting in comfy black chairs, a calming view of the beautiful outside in one direction and elegant, pastel peach fish floating around their tank in another, it was suitably tranquil. Not only did the environment create a relaxed feel, I had the wonderful company of my mother with me. The meal we had was absolutely delicious, tender pheasant with smooth mashed potato and a creamy mushroom sauce was our main choice. For dessert I had a cooling chocolate parfait with rosewater Turkish delight, whereas my mum had pistachio baked alaska.

Even though we had a fantastic lunch we were not aware of what the weather had in store for us on our walk back to my accommodation. The heavens opened, with not only rain but with so much forceful wind and hail, we chose to take cover under a large tree until it had calmed down. Unfortunately it didn’t. We braved the rest of the walk and managed to make it back, looking as though we had decided to go swimming with our clothes on. After my mum had climbed into my onsie and I had some drier clothes on, we settled down to a nice warming hot beverage and ended the day with a very good laugh about our adventure.
