I spent the afternoon cooking …

First I made a nice beef stew for the boys, recipe taken from my OXO cook book…

Then I made a vegetable and butter bean stew for Geoff, recipe taken from a new book, delicious casseroles…

Finally I roasted two Partridge for dinner, wrapping them in bacon to  keep them moist..

.

The reason I had the partridge, well a friend booked her husband in for a massage and they gave me 4 Partridge and a Pheasant as a  tip.

Amazingly today,almost a year after my lucky escape I received a Recorded Delivery  letter from Renault about the bonnet fault.

They say they have written to all Clio II owners previously and according to their data my Clio II has not been into a dealers to get checked.

This is the first letter I have ever received about this known fault and what a shame its a year too late .
