Friends, Food, Beer and heat!

Its been a busy week catching up with friends. We invited a friend over and cooked a meal on the Wednesday,It was great to catch up as we've not seen her for a while. Then on Friday we were invited over for a meal that was scrummy, we were treated to a Mediterranean open pie and home made garlic bread followed by home made strawberry ice cream.We also left with home made cherry jam, and last night we were drinking with friends down Mansfield road in Notts  Its years since we have done that and my how the pubs have changed . Favorite pub still has to be the Peacock and a great pint of Old Peculiar. Amazingly neither of us were drunk bearing in mind we drink so little now days.
We also managed to have a look at some of the artists displaying their talents at the Derbyshire Open Arts weekend - the Shed 2 Studio, a local gallery come workshop in Ilkeston which has  some very innovative work, and also an amateur artists display in Hartington.
We also spent some time researching  multifuel stoves  - they're pretty amazing; heat your water, boil your kettles, heat your casseroles....  I think you could pretty much just live in one room and have everything you need - Impressive!  - whats that saying - the old ways are the best!
