Sheila Fleet’s Gets Festive!.......

 

It was Mike’s birthday, so we went  Sheila Fleet’s for lunch, which was gorgeous as ever. 

They’ve got a Christmas menu which mentions Rudolphbut does have Vegan options!

 

The entrance  has a festive arch around the door, where a warm light invites you in…..

 

 

There’s a tea-set as deccies…..

 

 

 

….and in use…….

 

 

 

Birds and berries along the shelves…

 

 

Plus mistletoe around the booths and a big Christmas tree in the jewellery gallery.

 

But the main attraction for me is….the food…

 

 

 

Fact is…we did the same last year…

And….I’m thinking of the general significance of images of deer – how many of the Christmas cards we’re sending have an image of a deer on them?  And not always Rudolph!  This is a strong image of a stag, made and sent to us by friend Sally….

 

 

And the use of antlers in ceremonies…
