Pearl Wedding

 
Well, believe it or not this gorgeous lady has been married for 30 years as of December 20th. To me.

And I've finally managed to keep her in the "Manoir" to which she would like to become accustomed. "Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saison", to be precise!

For our 30th Anniversary I took Judith for a surprise overnight stay and meal at Le Manoir, and it was fabulous. The service is exceptional, the rooms fabulous, and the meal beyond adequate words to describe.

We both had the "menu Gourmand", me indulging in the meat version and Judith the vegetarian. This involved a seven course meal, which we accompanied with two delightful bottles of wine. We took our time over it (as we were encouraged to do), starting at 8:00 and finishing about 11:30. Everything went down, with the exception of the petit fours with coffee, which we just could not manage.

If you ever get the chance, go, as we intend to do again. Here are some photos of us and the venue, including the lovely gardens.
