            Happy 99th Birthday to my father, Marcus Winfield Ladell, born 13th October, 1923.  

Dad is less inclined to go out much these days, though he had a good walk round the gardens, font and back, a couple of days ago. When asked where he would like to go for lunch, he made it clear that he would rather stay in, with home comforts close to hand. Mum (93) does not do much cooking nowdays so, though I am no great cook, I produce their meals ... with a lot of help from Messrs Marks & Spencer.  They both have their own dietry preferences which can limit the options but we try to maintain a varied diet with plenty of fresh meat, vegetables and fruit. I try to put a bit more effort into Sunday lunches and today was a little like a extra, midweek Sunday lunch. 

We started with an orange ogen melon. The main course was a pork Saltimbocca joint wrapped in prosciutto ham topped with a sage butter, roasted for 2¼ hours. This was accompanied by Chantenay carrots in a herb dressing (parsley, rosemary, thyme); petit pois peas, leeks and cabbage in a savoury butter; and colcannon (potato mash with cabbage and spring onions). This was washed down with cheap but palatable Blossom Hill rosé wine. Afterwards we had an Alphonso mango and raspberry semifreddo bombe topped with passionfruit pulp and white chocolate shavings. This was concluded with their usual post-lunch pot of tea and a piece of Toblerone. The birthday cake at teatime was also courtesy of M&S: their naked red velvet sponge cake. Despite the mail strike we did have a postal delivery of a dozen cards today (even my sister's got there on time!) and a sprinkling of presents so, despite staying at home, it didn't seem too bad.
