Laura’s Book – December 5th 2013

Joe and Kate Ruttledge have come to Ireland from London in search of a different life. In passages of beauty and truth, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters that move about them unfolds through the action, the rituals of work, religious observances and play. We are introduced, with deceptive simplicity, to a complete representation of existence – an enclosed world has been transformed into an Everywhere.

Roasted chicken with carrots, turnip and mashed potato and then carrot cake and coffee with Irish Cream, for those with any room left!

Lots of discussions and opinions about this book and the impact of social media on our society, literature, children, politics and cook books.  As always, wonderful night with wonderful friends.

Autobiography of a Face-Lucy Greeley

Once again Karen created a memorable evening for us. Only Jane was unable to attend, though she was certainly present in spirit as we raised a glass and sent our love to her and Gerry!
The meal was an Italian feast: yummy soup, meats, breads, olives and more, with freeflowing wine and finished off with yummy cakes and butterscotch sauce:-)
