Lunch at the Old Hall, Saturday 25 November, 2006 We had a lunch for 18 family and friends at the Old Hall in the Cavendish room. We had agreed a menu with the Old Hall in advance, with some dishes having a local Derbyshire flavour. Everyone had to pick in advance - which proved very difficult for some people (Peter included) - and even harder on the day when Tracy was required to remind everyone of their choices. Click the menu to see why it was so difficult.

		Anticlockwise from right is Bernie, Hilary, Steve, Diane, Pauline, Malcolm, Alix, Margaret and (some of) Aimie. Somehow we managed to get through 6 bottles of white wine and 7 red between us (not to mention the cider) - thank goodness some weren't drinking.

Consulting the menu - just what did I order? From back to front: Steve, Hilary, Bernie, Peter, Tracy, Gaynor and John. The red was a particularly fine Rioja and the white an excellent unoaked Chardonnay. Peter and Tracy had undertaken the arduous task of wine tasting the week before - what we suffered for our guests!
