Harthside

So off we went one Friday evening - in search of Tammy's new abode..

Found the 'palace' without much trouble (it was actually only a 100 yards away from Ingol St. Margaret's Tennis Club, where Mum and I had played matches some twenty odd years ago....ah ah!)

As you will see below the (spotless) kitchen (never used I guess!!) apart from opening bottles of wine! QED - after a quick glass of wine, Tammy instigated Plan A and (attempted) to phone our 'take-away' order into the locally recommended 'Chinese'. Worked well until the pre-recorded message announced it was closed! (For the 2 weeks of Preston Holidays).

Plan B was, however, achieved - the 'Chinese' was only a half a mile away, but after two miles and some 'dead ends', Tammy decided to use the map on the front of the menu! Worked well, but I was instructed to wait in the car - a bit of a dodgy area, and Tammy, being hungry, wanted a car to get back home!

We all 'shared' our choices and enjoyed a very pleasant meal in the dining area shown below...

The meal was complete after enjoying some lovely fresh strawberries.

We also had the 'grand tour' and below is Tam's boudoir, not sure what question provoked the facial expression, or why she is trying to strangle the dog!!

We were hoping to meet with Tammy's sister and husband, who were coming to stay (and do jobs for Tammy around the house) over the (working) weekend, but they were a little late leaving Southampton so unfortunately we missed them. After coffee and a 'good chat' we took our leave and thanked our hostess for a very pleasant evening.
