We are gathered here today...........

Lunch out today at Miller Howe Hotel in the Lake District.
We had booked it for 12.30 & when we arrived we discovered a wedding was taking place at 2pm.
I went in to take a quick picture & the setting was lovely for a small intimate wedding of about 16 guests.

We were slightly put out that because of the wedding we couldn't have our coffee outside on the patio overlooking the lake.
I did complain a little & said we should have been informed when we booked but they just shrugged it off....I think we will have a change next time!

Please excuse me if I don't get round to commenting on yours tonight...I slept really badly last night, been out in the sun all day & tonight I am shattered!

Three good things:
1. Delicious meal not cooked by myself!
2. Stunning scenery in the Lakes...we always say we should go more often!!!!
3. A birthday to remember!
not good that they didn't tell you ..... did give you a lovely photo chance though. Lovely shot :)

Very nice setting for a wedding shame it spoilt your day. But you have a nice photo to remind you.

@willowdragon @barrowlane Thank you both...it didn't spoil the day at all as I was busy trying to get sneaky photos but I think it should have been mentioned!

A Very Happy Birthday , Pat -- so sorry to hear your special meal didn't quite go to plan & very remiss of them not to have told you of the wedding in their establishment when you booked !!
Never mind you got a Photo out of it !!--- by the way a lovely shot !!

Happy birthday Pat!! Very swish Miller Howe though I'm sure you wouldn't have caused any problems on the patio. I want to go to The Lakes now! October half term might be good when the leaves are on the turn. Have a relaxing evening recovering!

Your birthday day sounds wonderful and a lovely place to go! Being in the sun makes for a great and natural tiredness so go with it, Pat and my birthday greetings will go with you!

What a wedding to remember Pat - this is a gorgeous outlook. Pity they didn't let you know about the wedding booking - those little details are annoying - but you ended up on a positive note - and enjoyed your day regardless.
