A Meal prepared to perfection
The kitchen now on tickover
White wines, ales and soft drinks chilled
Red wine uncorked and breathing
A good Brandy awaits in hiding
Places set on the extended table
Mats, napkins, cutlery and glasses
On parade
In anticipation
It will soon be time
Music and lights set the mood
In the hall a bell rings
Guests at the door
Already ?
So early
"Hello there, nice to see you"
"Glad you could come"
"You're looking well"
"What can I get you ?"
Conversations of times past
Of future hopes
Conviviality achieved.
