This afternoon I went for an explore of the Storemont estate, I waited until the Race for Life women in their pink t-shirts had vacated the park though! I took the woodland trail around the park. I'm afraid the pictures aren't great as I just had my mobile and I couldn't seem to stop shaking it when I took the pictures! But the dappled sunlight, baby blue sky and green leaves had a very calming effect!
I then found a nice young tree to sit under in a daisy meadow and read some more of Sarah Waters The Little Stranger - it's un - put- downable!
Before my walk round Stormont (the parliament building pictured above) I had a 3 course Sunday lunch at the hotel. It was one of those eat as much as you like affairs. It was served up in the ballroom whilst a pianist tinkled out songs from the shows and Elton John numbers! All very dignified for me! I had broccoli soup to start, then gammon steak, roast beef, Yorkshire pud, new potatoes, carrots, parsnips, peas and gravy. I then went to look at the puddings. I should have taken a photo because I have never seen so many deserts in one place! There were at least 3 different gateaus, a pavlova, cheese cake, a summer pudding, some ice cream type vienetta thing, trifle, profiteroles, assorted tarts, jelly and fruit, cheese and biscuits, and fruit salad. I was so overwhelmed by the choice I just went for the jelly and fruit! I should have smuggled a few of the cakes etc up to my room no need for room service tonight!
