Last minute maintenance on the pool, this morning, before leaving with Jan for yet another trip to the airport. Jan will come back first with Ric and Sheila and Pete and Linda because they come in on the afternoon flight from Luton. I hang around for an hour and a bit and wait for Tony H and Jenny, Steve and Angela, Gail H and Tony Moss, who come in on the Liverpool flight. The group is so big that Tony H very kindly hires a third car.
It is really good to see them all again and needless to say there is lots of reminiscing.
At around 7.00 pm we start to carve a leg of Serrano ham (sorry to all you veggies out there) which is sweet and moist. This was washed down with Blanc de Blanc from the Carnas Cooperative and got the rest of the evening off to a good start. It must have been the wine, because 4 of the men ventured into the pool, which is at a temperature that I wouldn't have washed the dog in. Their reply to my astonishment was, "when you are used to the North Sea, this is pure luxury." C'est la vie!
Jan prepared dinner on a Greek theme with meze to start, moussaka for main and those good old Greek puddings of Tarte au Citron and/or strawberries. Ok smart ass, what do Greeks have for pudding? The wines, also from Carnas, went down well. This is a really good eating and drinking group!

Probably most common Greek puds are baklava, and good old greek yoghurt & honey.
If you are feeling more adventurous, there is always galataboureko (like baklava only with custard inside), moustalevria (grape wine pudding), or greek rice pudding.
