Club 15 Christmas Dinner 2020…

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic so many people felt unable to go to the Christmas dinner at the Bird in Hand planned for 15th December.  In fact in the end it was just Ray and myself who went.  The restaurant was warm and cosy, as always, with a beautiful tree in the centre-back of the room with red lights and gorgeous decorations hanging from its branches.

We checked in and were told that all the places for SYMC had been cancelled!  However there was only one other couple in the restaurant with two other tables reserved, so it was not a problem and we chose the table we would like to sit in.  Trouble was, we kept reminiscing about previous years and who we had sat next to and what we had eaten before!

The meal was lovely, we went for three courses each and so felt nicely full afterwards.  The waitress was so attentive and looked after us and we had a really lovely dinner.   The couple who were eating when we arrived, paid up and went and we were actually the only diners in the restaurant, and the people booked for the other two tables never arrived.

It was such a treat having a meal out as with the restrictions that had been put into place before, and then straight afterwards, it was the only opportunity we had to go out for a Christmas dinner.   Let’s just hope that we will all be able to share in next year’s Club 15 Christmas dinner together.        Keg
