Celebration Lunch

We had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon later this week to check on Robin’s knee replacement. 

Arriving for the appointment

As expected we were in and out of the busy surgeon’s rooms in no time at all.  There were x-rays on the monitor showing the replacement pieces, and everything looked nice and straight.  The wound has healed nicely and Robin’s knee movement is excellent.  We were told that slow improvement will happen over the next year or so, but everything looks fine, and he can do away with the sticks.  Yes, he is cleared to drive, so a caravan trip will be happening in the near future.  Yippee to that! 

There was time to pick up a few things on our list, and then it was lunch time.  We had decided to lunch at Speight’s Ale House.

 

Lots of big hearty meals on the menu so we would only need a much lighter evening meal.  A Speights beer for Robin and a bubbly for me while we checked out the menu.  What to choose, that always takes a bit of thought.  I had belly pork, so surprises there, and Robin chose a big juicy lamb shank.  We hadn't planned on dessert, but a cinnamon oyster each with coffee afterwards was just a mouthful and so light and  tasty.

Beer, wine, coffee and cake!

A good result deserves a celebration lunch
