Our First Wedding Present

Mr Jones and I received our first wedding present this week! It's very exciting. Mr and Mrs Allsop came to visit at the weekend. They are very selfishly moving to Orange County, CA come the spring and seem to think that they'll be far too busy on the beach to jet back for our wedding. (tisk!)

But they made up for it by bringing us a beautiful set of antique fish servers as an early wedding present. A picture will follow, but I'm currently being inept with the camera and the technical whizz of the house is off in Kent again. When I post it you can all oooh and ahhh at the lovely engraved silver and the pretty carved bone handles. They even have a box don't you know.

We're very chuffed. I shall have to have an elegant luncheon come the warmer weather and serve delicately poached salmon with my antique fish servers onto a bed of lightly dressed salad leaves. For dessert we'll have strawberries and cream with Kir Royales on the side. Do let me know if you'd like to come. Unfortunately the Mother-in-Law won't be able to attend - she and salmon don't agree with each other. xoxo
