I decided on a cheerful yellow theme centred around my tablecloth. I had gold chargers, cream and black plates, gold napking rings, gold pineapple placecard holders, the usual plated cutlery and glassware. Only paper napkins this time.
Table - ordinary lighting.
Candlelighting:
Mark's place setting - I made placecards for everyone with a picture which indicates their interest so KF had a goalkeeper on it, UR a jogger, P a gardener, Dom's a guitarist, Wm a picture of an apple pie, Mark's had the Counterstrike emblem whilst Hazel, Eliza and J had flowers on theirs in their favourite colours. And mine? It was a picture of a svelte lady cook! *two secret aspirations revealed*
I only have 8 cream/black plates so Hazel and Eliza had to have the yellow/blue plates.
And now, here is the table laden with food.
Dom took this rather dizzying bird's eye view pic of the table.
Another chicken shot - The Before
After : Deboned/sliced roast chicken
Next post: Apple Crumble
Lastly, the reason why I spend almost 5 hours slaving in the kitchen - happy and appreciative guests.
