FLOATING DINNER

 

FLOATINGDINNER

‘It’s thelatest trend – we come to you for starters, go to Fiona’s for the main course, then toours for dessert. It’ll be fun!’

They agreeda timetable and a menu, booked baby-sitters andarranged taxis.

Georgina’s watercresssoup with white wine was a success and, although Fiona’s boeuf en croute wasoverdone, they washed it down with a good red, then to Mark’s for Pavlova and Proseccofollowed by coffee and brandies.

Afterwards,no-one was sure who suggested floating partners to end the evening, but theatmosphere at the school gates on Monday was decidedly awkward.

We used to have floating meals years ago, with a meticulous timetable and enough couples for a party at the last house. I remember them being great fun, though our group of friends never took things quite this far!
