I feel as though this is my last night as a single something as next week will be all about the re-opening. It feels as though I'm planning a wedding and moving house all at the same time. I've got the photographer booked, the flowers ordered the decorating is finished but I don't have a fancy new frock or a sparklie ring, and most definatley not a honeymoon booked in the sychelles although just now a week in the Priory would be more beneficial.
I have taken to drinking incessant cups of tea to calm my nerves, usually its just because I'm such a tea jenny although to be truthful now the builders have left its not quite so good as they've taken their Yorkshire teabags away with them. The staff are so fed up with my usual cry of "Who's making tea" I can't say who makes the best as I would get killed, but they all do an amazing job.
We all went out to dinnerwith the builders last week to say thank you for all their hard work , we took the plumbers too, so they wouldn't feel left out! It was such a good night and my last night of freedom for a while anyway. We hit the high spots of Wrexham, some bar down a back alley with Karaoke..................now my singing skills have never been much to write home about, I'm never going to be on X-factor, its my ability to know the lyrics perfectly, well at least the ones I make up in my head. Even after 3 years the staff still laugh at my rendition of the Katy Perry tune with cherry chopsticks??!!
Needless to say I decided to wear to my glasses to see the screen just to be on the safe side!
Today for the first time in ages we finally got some amazing food, as the staff say..................this isn't just any restaurant food....................this is Carmine food!! mmmmmmmmm
We had a run through of all the new dishes on the menu so we could advise all the customers which dish they should try. Well it really depends on who you ask but one of the most enjoyed was the Lobster ravioli in a creamy tomato sauce with prawns and scallops, which would go beautifully with the Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand we tried on Tuesday. As I was saying earlier, I have such a stressful job.
I really hope you will all try to pop in over the Easter weekend to see what we've done with the place and you love it just as much as we do
In the meantime I will leave you with a toast from the "best man"
It is the end of one chapter of life and the beginning of everything else.........
So wish us luck
Colette
