Family time

Having spent a day out enjoying the sunshine, this evening we had nice chilled dinner plans for a nice night in with one of Nick’s clients.

            Whenever we go out for dinner at people’s houses in Singapore it normally involves way too many bottles of wine, and often ends in the early hours of the morning with the promise of a sore head the next day. This time was delightfully different.

            Phil and Nathalie have two young sons, so dinner was set to be nice and early so that we would have time to see the kids before they went to bed.  As is appropriate at Easter, we arrived on their doorstep armed with a bottle of red wine and two Easter eggs, subtly disguised to avoid a late night chocolate feast while we were there. We were inevitably therefore welcomed with open arms!

            The evening was lovely. We had a nosey around their beautiful and incredibly spacious flat before sitting down to a delicious Italian themed dinner, followed by a thankfully fairly competitive-free dice rolling game. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was fun, and a nice little distraction while we made our way through a delicious cheeseboard.

            By 11pm we were ready to head home, and so we ended the night at an incredible respectable hour, rounding off a lovely Singapore day.
