Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Fine Dining

Linthwaite House at Bowness-on-Windermere has lots to recommend it – stunning views, luxurious rooms, meticulous service, and eye-wateringly high prices to keep out the riff-raff (not wholly effective as we save up for a few years so we can rub shoulders with the well-heeled and loud-voiced) – but what makes it stand out from our other favoured hotels is the fine dining, exemplified by my six courses tonight: a broccoli mousse in a filo pastry cone; an amuse-bouche of carrot and ginger foamed soup; a starter of yellow fin tuna with anchovy and things I’ve never heard of; rump and neck of lamb with trimmings; custard tart with nutmeg; petit-fours and coffee.
