Xmas Victoriana

We met our friends, Joan & John for a meal at the Open Arms in Dirleton this lunch time as is our usual habit between Xmas and New Year. Although this is a family owned independent hotel, it was only opened in 1947 just after the last World War. However, it has always appealed to the county set and its Christmas decorations could even be regarded as Victorian, hence my blip - a truly magnificent Father Xmas doll. It has recently been upgraded a we were sitting for the first time in the Library.
The food was very good and the ambience lead to a convivial mealtime.
