Enjoying English Bay

It was great to arrive "home" and have the fireplace all ready to go...mucho gracias, Richard! And our manager Paul had put up the bracket for Jim's famous copper pots so I guess we'll get them up tomorrow...maybe Jim will actually use them.

Enjoyed the view while having a drink then off to The Sylvia for dinner in the pub. Very animated and pleasant sitting by the window in armchairs looking at the Carol Ships and the freighters all lit up. Battery low so didn't get any photos of that but got a few of our apartment entrance with some Christmas lights up and other lights along the way.








On our table was a Christmas Dinner menu from 1939. Christmas dinner was one dollar and this was the set menu:

Stuffed Celery and Olives - Salted Nuts
Shrimp Cocktail
Consumme Royale
Stuffed Roast Turkey - Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Potatoes - New Green Peas and CArrots
Holly Salad
Plum Pudding - Brandy or Hard Sauce
Tea - Coffee

Seems like quite a deal but I guess a dollar was a lot in 1939.
