North at Easter

I think this picture says it all.

We spent the Easter weekend in Stoke saying with a friend, it was just nice not to be at home. We didn't really do much, but we did eat, a lot. But my favourite meal of the whole weekend was this Steak and Stilton Pie with chips peas and gravy. Mmm Mm it was good, I don't think anything I could say would do it justice.

It was really nice to do nothing for a weekend, but I am looking forward to the coming bank holiday, to crack on with a much needed spring clean in the flat. Although if anyone could recommend a cleaner....

Bookshop Thai

As part of our New Year goals we made a pact not to order take aways. So at the end of each month if we succeed we can treat ourselves to a night out. So we did it, and Saturday night the Bookshop Thai was our restaurant of choice.

It literally is a Thai restaurant in a bookshop, we love books so being surrounded by them while we ate really was a treat. We were seated in a little nook, quite early evening so it was nice and quiet too.  

I can't remember the names of all the dishes but they were all delicious, we will definitely revisit this little gem.

As you can see I made an attempt to use my camera a bit more, the quality still isn't great and I still have a long way to go, but I'm working on it :o)
