A bit of Greek to celebrate

My wife has just recently passed her English GCSE (Ain't Adult Learning great), so with family deciding to visit we went out for a meal knowing that Grandpa could look after our boy.
After searching the internet for a Greek restaurant locally we were surprised to find one in a nearby town. In actual fact we have regularly driven past it without noticing. We arrived suitably excited at trying a new cuisine and were pleased to see how busy it was. Concerns started to settle in after an hour wait for the starters, but were settled quickly by the offer of a free bottle of wine in apology. This was done without our complaint, I was suitably impressed.
The food soon came and it was excellant. The atmosphere was good and the service friendly. We left lighter in the pocket, but not excessively so and fully nourished. we are now looking forward to an earlier timed visit so the whole family can go. Got to be a pleasant change to the standard pub meal or McDonalds.
The next morning saw us groggy from the extra bottle of wine but the Sunday morning family swim soon put paid to that leaving only a pleasant memory as my son tried to jump on my head from the pool side.

Unfortunately Sunday was soon over and so Monday and work beckons. Meetings and paperwork abound, whilst I look forward to the next weekend and another two days of kids parties and uninterrupted family life (the good and the bad).
