Oh dear

Oh dear. Poor Mrs. Lawton has unfortunately succumbed to a nasty virus and has taken to her bed.

Mrs. Tyhurst and Mrs. Lawton had previously enjoyed another delightful evening in Magor with another fine piece of (locally sourced) sirloin followed by apple and almond pudding.

Enthused by the reappearance (after 34 years) of a production of Ayckborn's 'The Norman Conquests' at London's Old Vic, they settled down to a viewing of the original TV version.
Starring a very hairy ( but still sexy) Tom Conti, Penelope Keith,( young looking) Richard Briars... it was darker than they remembered (well, Mrs. Tyhurst didn't really remember it at all as she is so young). The excruciating dynamics between all the house guests surely preceded the more famous 'Abigail's Party' ?
Useful preparation for a forthcoming Fizzlights production in the spring.
Mrs. Tyhurst valiantly went ahead with her 'Moral Boosting Supper' the next weekend, serving a delicious Gordon Ramsay sticky chicken, champ, with local vegetables. A hearty chocolate apple brown betty for desert - don't you think in these dark days of financial restraint it's important to have gorgeous company (the Deeths, Mr. Roger Drury and Ms Anni Jannik), fine food and some nice wine???
Mrs. Lawton is quite out of her usual social whirl, poor darling.
