Heavy but very rewarding day at Bude Memory Café (Mrs Steve is the prime mover and I do loads of transporting of folks...). We had the local WI choir today who put on a great show, not just singing in chorus but also introducing a lovely lady belly dancer, a bit of jiving to sixties classics, a local lad with a gorgeous voice and a lady folk singer who was utter class. Got home far too late to cook, so I rustled up plates of picky-up grub, most of it bought in...

We had nocellara olives, sun-dried cherry tomatoes, two Italian salamis and some prosciutto crudo, vegetable samosas and my favourite tapa, fried padron peppers sprinkled with sea salt (the one bit I had to do myself). We started with a lovely glass of white wine, sitting in the evening sun, and we're currently polishing off a bottle of red from a Puglian village winery, Salice Salentino.

That'll do me!
