given that claire whisked me away to ynyshir for my birthday, it was always going to be a struggle to get close to her efforts for her birthday. my idea was a simple one; to saturate her with saturates, to become the quintessential feeder and ply her with good food over a sustained period of time. we end up doing eight meals in eight days, lots of daytime boozing and as many late afternoon naps. central to this was a meal in the multi award winning adams, which also has the added bonus of being the only decent restaurant in the city in which i have not been on a date to with a girl. i’ve been several times before with mates, on those long boozy lunches that end with hazy memories and self loathing.
