A trip to Leesburg today with Claire - we had planned to visit a very good thrift store there (unfortunately closed on Monday - should have checked!). A few doors along we found a very nice shop selling books 'and other found things' and we managed to find a few things of interest in there.
So with just a few minutes to spare before our lunch reservation we came upon an antique and collectors centre, which turned out to be twenty rambling rooms packed with items...
I was fascinated by the views out of the windows of the historic streets..
So on to lunch and when the menus arrived it was obvious that my forthcoming birthday had been mentioned..
Thank you, Claire, for the pre-birthday treat.
We both seem to be intent on holding onto our celebratory glass of wine!
A lovely meal and a few reflections on past birthdays and that next year in order to celebrate our respective July birthdays, one of us will have to travel!!
The restaurant is in an old mill and hence retains some of the relevant equipment, including several weighing scales.. fortunately we were not weighed either on the way in or out!
On leaving I was given a glass etched with the name of the restaurant - Tuscarora Mill - some sweets and the souvenir menu.
A great time..and still four days to my birthday!
