Sam and I hit the open road again yesterday and took a drive to see his Grandma who lives in Ipswitch. It takes about 2 hours from London to get there.... so we popped in for cake and about 5 cups of tea and then on our way back to London stopped in the tiny town of Nayland to go to the Anchor Inn...
Didn't actually get a photo of the outside of the pub which was a bit stupid but anyway, here I am inside it! The pub has a garden where they grow their own veg and a smoke house attached and they pretty much smoke everything. and it was BEAUTIFUL!!
this was my amazing starter. it was just a ciabatta sharer plate (that I didn't really share) but boy was it tasty. There was homemade humous, smoked cheeses, caperberries, smoked sunblushed tomatoes, olives and salad.....
and then our mains.... i had a lamb hot pot and Sam had a pork tenderloin in a bean casserole. And I have to say now that the Lamb was was most tender, most melt in your mouth. most delish Lamb i have EVER eaten. ever.
Sam was lucky enough to find some bullet as an extra flavor to the pork. which turned out to be duck! (because they shoot ducks... not pigs!)
and then we made out way back to London town.
All in all we gave it a 8.5 out of 10. Many more pub trips to come....
and Elliot!
And then today, Easter Monday, we made the most of the sunshine in Saint Peters Square (a smallish park around the corner from where Sam and I live) with a few mates and Sam's family.
this is Tom, Sam's youngest nephew...
and Patrick, his older brother.... (with chocolate all over his hands!)
and Elodie... the newest addition to the family (she is 12 weeks old!) 
we played some quality football.... (soccer!)
and had some yummy bits!
a very nice day :)
