H hosts an annual 'Gentlemen's Dinner' which this year gave rise to the need to head off to Billingsgate Market at gnat's crack, to buy a pile of seafood for that evening's event.<\/p>\n

First point of note – how lovely it is driving through London when there's no traffic. All dark and feeling quite Christmassy..<\/p>\n

Second point – who the hell puts a traffic light in the middle of a Christmas lights display – of red and green lights?? No wonder it took a while to get into the car park – which light to follow?<\/p>\n

Third point – why do they still charge \u00a32.50 cash to park, even at 6am? Time for a spot of Ringo I suspect..<\/p>\n

Anyway – as ever, fish and seafood a plenty when you get in there. And such bargains – we even bought some prawns, skate wings etc to freeze for the 'eat healthier in January' gig, as they are incredibly good value.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And of course, the finished platter went down well, followed apparently by beef wellington. And a whole bottle of cinnamon vodka (urgh) among other alcoholic delights.<\/p>\n

I spent the night at the cottage, watching the Strictly final and eating roast lamb – much nicer! x <\/p>\n
