This weekend was good. It was the annual "trifle party" hosted by V&K in Cardiff, which is a great opportunity for a group of friends to meet up (many of us don't see each other very often) and eat, drink and be merry. This year we hunted werewolves and discussed the nature of organic salt (wishing that one of us was a chemist).
On our return home I discovered an early Xmas present had arrived from the father-in-law: a baby hazel tree with roots infected with truffle. This is fantastic and a really cool idea for a present. You never know: in a few years we may have truffles growing in our own garden (time to consider buying a pig!).
Despite all of this cool stuff (and more), the best bit of the weekend was meeting up with an old school friend who I haven't seen since 1988, but I have been in intermittent contact with for the last couple of years thanks to Friends Reunited (hey, it works sometimes). We wandered around town and sat and drank coffee and talked for a couple of hours. A lot has happened for both of us and it is great to get some catching up done. We're hoping to get together with a couple more of the lads in the new year.
