My brother and SIL have loads of dinner parties,if SIL can think of a reason for having one,consider it planned.

She has a beautiful Hostess Trolley,a kitchen to die for,and a wine cellar to match. Sadly,no children,their choice but they just love having people around.

You couldn't wish to meet a more pleasant couple.

Of course it helps that SIL is 'Cordon Bleu' trained and consequently my brother is now MWTM trained!!
