Valentine’s Day..
A lovely walk with Ellie first thing (after feeding the birds). It was cold but nice for a walk. Again, Ellie just dashes for the beach! I am sure we could open the lodge door and she would just go on her own!
We booked to go to our favourite pub, The Blacksmiths Arms for a Valentine’s lunch. We have never had a bad meal there and today was no exception. Of course they are very dog friendly with dog blankets and treats.
There are such lovely views from the garden although it was too cold to eat out there today, even with the sun!
The food was so good. I had scallops to start, followed by roasted monkfish in parma ham and then my favourite desert ever, and no one makes it like them.
White chocolate and raspberry creme brulee. It is full of raspberries.
Ellie had a run around the garden after we finished and then back to the lodge. We told them the TV was a bit in and out and also internet. I think most of this is the remoteness of the lodge so we can put up with it but two of the gas rings on the hob weren’t working but they came to repair this early evening.
The retreat has been very quiet since we arrived but it looked as though more people arrived for the weekend to fill some of the empty lodges.
