Hi Carole, The meal was a success, it was very well cooked by the girls, and Mels parents enjoyed it also, we had some wine with the meal, then Mel made a rice pudding, very nice, the chocolate cake was cut and her parents took a piece home, have just been out with another friend for a pint, exhausted now, and up early for engineer, just pray he comes, it is very muggy here tonight, not much breeze, hugs and glad everything is sorted,
