I have a terrible confession to make. At least I am honest enough to admit that I did not finish this book. I tried and tried but did not manage to get more than half way through.
It was interesting in parts, how they lived and passed children around among friends and family depending on how wealthy they were... but the family connections just went on and on and on.
To go with that we had a terrible meal at The Bull in Rolvenden. Having heard good reports of the food and Kath recently had been and had a great meal we thought we would be rash and change our usual Tuesday night to a Wednesday so we could try out the food/ atmosphere etc. Shall I bother to put a link in here - no probably not.
Not good. Our meal - we all chose the cod - too about an hour to arrive and the fish was not cooked. It was taken back and returned - newly cooked fish - after what seemed an inordiante amount of time especially as there were only six other people eating and we had had chips in the meantime so were not feeling terribly hungry. It was ok but service poor. Sarah will tell you about the waiter I am sure.
But otherwise a good evening with good friends.
Kate
