An evening with Raymond Blanc
|
A good week was had by all, we saw Helen and baby Ethan,
cuddled him lots and helped bath him, also did some work at the office,
David went to doctors for some more high blood pressure tablets, he then had to
go for more blood tests to check that his Kidneys weren’t affected by the
drugs. Hopefully they will have got the dose right this time. He
has to go back for a check in July. On Thursday night we took Ryan and Lisa out for a meal in
Oxford met straight from work had pre dinners drinks on Walton Street in
Jericho a posh part of Oxford and planned to eat at Loch Fyne, but we were
turned away as it was invitation only for a special function, so we wandered
down to our second choice restaurant The Brassiere Blanc, we went in and asked
for a back room table for 4, the lady came up to us and quietly said that the
BBC was filming in the back and did we mind and were we alright to take
part. We all quickly answered Yes… our luck was in… Raymond Blanc was there (he’s so small and still has
such a strong French accent) and the winners of The Restaurant TV series,
Michelle & Russell. They were cooking and serving the special dishes
of the day, the BBC researcher came over to interview us she took quite a fancy
to David so she sent over the film crew to interview us after every
course. We had a wonderful evening, Michelle, Russell and Raymond all
came up and shook our hands and talk to us about their new series and the
opening of their restaurant “The Cheerful Soul” in Marlow and
told us that we might be on the 1st episode airing in the
autumn. So watch this space we might be on the BBC.
Taken on my mobile phone – Raymond, BBC cameraman
& Michelle We went back to the hotel in Abingdon feeling rather
special and warm, we’d had a lovely spontaneous evening and our last meal
with Ryan for at least a year as he was leaving for NZ that next week for 12
months. Lots of Love . |
