The general manager and a member of his staff from our local deli in town come to our local pub on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. It is ticket only and each table had a cheese board with 4 different cheeses, 1 piece of each cheese per person. We are given information of each where it comes from, the creature it comes from etc,, there is a basket of bread on the table along with crackers. We eat, drink and chat, sometimes we go with friends if they are not around then we sit on a table with people we don't know and have a good natter with them.

@Lullabelle
Definitely something I would enjoy - especially nattering with strangers.

Apparently today is Black Friday, there is very little to report so I think rhe idea may have fizzled out.

I woke up this morning with a big headache. Too much prosecco yesterday.
This morning Mr.P. and I are going to Milano to see Toulouse Lautrec paintings to Palazzo Reale. I'm a fan of Lautrec.
Then we'll having lunch in a little restaurant downtown with friends. I think I'll drink only water!

Me neither!

To be fair, it was 1 chocolate shop, 1 deli and a toy store, so easy. All we need now is wrapping paper and a few more cards, job done
