Quote...Mark Houlahan: Moving Quotes on Life

If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page.

The past has passed and I raise my glass to your future xxxx

Hope you both enjoy your meal out Piskie. What a beautiful looking place!

Nice brief Bobles - thanks

I think the celebration event is your way of taking the lemons life hands you, Piskie - and making some delicious lemonade!

Aww, now see that's lovely

Enjoy it piskie, it's fantastic.

I shall certainly try and am really looking forward to it

OK, no I've not been there (although have been to a couple of similar places where despite the food being nice and the service good I just felt ripped off) but I don't really do what is called fine dining, to me it's simply not value for money. However I do realise that we all have different definitions of value. Maybe the word poncey was unfair but I'd still rather go elsewhere.

One thing worth reiterating is that I've no probs with Piskie going and having a great time, if somebody arranges something you like then it's dead nice. I was merely curious as to whether it was just me on here who doesn't like all that kind of fuss and to be honest finds it all a bit unsettling.

I like eating out but probably wouldn't choose a place like this as I am quite fussy about the foods I like. I have watched a few of Raymond's cookery programmes and he is really quite entertaining and the food he prepares looks lovely (if a little lacking in quantity for Madmax) but out of a few programmes I have only seem bits and pieces that I would look forward to eating. For a real foodie I can imagine it would be like letting a child loose in a sweetie shop though.

Souinds brill, Piskie - enjoy

[Glutton4...]

I hope you have a lovely time, please do report back!

[Jeanied]

Looking at the menu - how fab - then the cookery courses - amaaaazing!

[FionaH]

Looks wonderful and very romantic too, have a great time. Don't forget we will need a full debrief when you get back

[Headfry]

Piski you are soooo lucky!
when do you leave Oxfordshire?

[piskieinboots]

we leave on 7 May

Mods - could one of you kind souls change the heading to read 'To mark leaving Oxfordshire' as celebrate is the wrong word and I can't change titles, even when using 'advanced'

[Headfry]

Piski....fancy meeting up before you go....perhaps Waterperry for afternoon tea?

[piskieinboots]

Would love to Name your time slot as I'm somewhat flexible
