Christmas Dinner
We have Just had a Christmas dinner with one of our suppliers at a lovely old Georgian hall just out side Lincoln, Washingborough Hall in the village of Washingborough surprisingly!!.
Washingborough Hall hotel is Owned by Edward and Lucy Herring. its a beautiful grade two listed 300 year old Georgian manor house sitting in it’s own grounds.
I just had to share these pictures of the fireplaces the first one with its huge stove just belted out so much heat we were roasted, while we were waiting for our dinner in the hall way brilliant on a cold December afternoon.
This other one was in the dinning room a Lovely Georgian marble fireplace, and what a meal all three coarse were fantastic I had the Turkey cooked to perfection and the red cabbage and assorted vegetables was wonderful. followed by the Christmas pudding and custard, Great. No sixpence though.
Washingborough hall hotel definitely is worth a stay in one of its 12 bedrooms or just book a table for a wonderful meal.
While on holiday in France
I just thought I would share this with you. While on holiday in France this month we briefly stayed in this Château for the night and what a night a lovely place to stay, Marion Schildhorn the current owner was telling me that the Château is no longer available for renting out because it has been sold, the new owner is going to return the Château back to be a private house.
Château Lespinassat current owner Marion Schildhorn kindly let me take some pictures of her lovely fireplaces, it gives you an idea of what some 18th century french fireplaces look like.
