Life outside Guiding

Today was my husband's 50th birthday so we went to Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons. We used an offer from the RHS which is actually really good value for a meal with all wines included as well as a tour of the garden and a flower arranging demonstration (not on all of them). Anyway, what really made our day was that our paths crossed that of Raymond Blanc, the owner and well-known chef, who both welcomed us and shook our hands - how cool is that? Of course, I am expecting great things when it comes to my birthday in November.
