December weekend

Wow, a busy weekend!. Friday night I met some people from work for a friends birthday party at a local restaurant called The Bramptom Mill located in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire with stunning views overlooking a river that runs through the village. I’m looking forward to going back in the summer to watch the boats cruise up and down the river.

Saturday was another Christmas party held at The George of Spaldwick which was originally a private residence belonging to the Dartington Family. The ‘George’ opened as a Coaching Inn in 1679 in the quiet, beautiful and quaint village of Spaldwick . It sits beside an old Manor House and overlooks the village green. It is the quintessential Old English Country Pub complete with a recognized fine dining restaurant.

Both of these restaurants have great food at a very reasonable price and they are rated as being excellent places for social events and date nights. I have added both their links below for your review. I do not endorse either one, however, I think the food at both is better than good, they each have a relaxing atmosphere and that they are equal to more of a dining experience rather then a pub feel.

Anyway back to the work week. I’m hoping to get Dallas on the television later. By the way, for those of you who follow college football---GO TEXAS! HOOK'EM! I said at the beginning of the year if Texas made it to the championship game I would get there to see them. Well things did not work out this year but there’s always my San Antonio Spurs!

Till my next entry I hope everyone stays safe and has a great week.

Cheers
Mike

  1. You've become quite the bon vivant. Good post!

    I like the looks of the Brampton Mill, has the appearance of a traditional English Pub. Must be a great place to throw back a glass or two of ale.
