Yesterday was a great day. It started with church. I was telling some young people a couple of weeks ago, the older I get the more I love the church. I feel blessed because my home church, Cardiff City Temple (www.citytemple.info) is just a great family to belong to. We are so spoilt with an excellent pastoral team. great preaching and inspiring worship.

Most of the afternoon was spent either preparing dinner or watchin/listening to the Concert for Diana. Later in the evening, Lesley came to the house and I cooked us dinner. I lolve cooking for people and the menu was: Salmon Chevice. Which is essentially thinly sliced raw salmon with red chilli, spring onion and garlic marinated in a dressing of light soy sauce, sesame seed oil and olive oil. It had amazing flavours. The mains was
Venison in a dark chocolate sauce The sauce was a combination of flavours created from bitter chocolate, raspberry vinegar, lardons, onions, thyme and bay leaves! Dessert was Caramalised peaches on a Pain Perdu with Raspberry Sauce I served it with Chantilly cream.
