On Wednesday evening we went out for dinner with Val and her husband James. Last weekend was Vals birthday and this week is mine, and so we decided to go out to celebrate both birthdays together!! We went to Original Joe's - a restaurant Lloyd and I had never been to - and a fairly new restaurant to our town.
You can find the Original Joe's website HERE.
It's not the normal style of restaurant we would choose, so it was really nice to try somewhere different. The Sweet Chili chicken that we had as a starter was good! I think it is a place we would probably go to more for lunch if we were out shopping or meeting friends at lunchtime....it very much had a 'bar' feel to the place.....
We had a really lovely evening and it was so much fun relaxing with friends and chatting all evening. Val and I know each other soooooo well but we've only managed to get together with our husbands just a few times really, and it was really nice to get to know James better. I think it was good to hear his thoughts on their Hawaiian holiday too - a male view is always a good thing for persuading Lloyd (lol)
Thanks for a great evening Val and James - I hope we can do it again very soon!
