Fiona's Quiet Life

What is it with Lin­lithgow and food on a Monday night.….….….….….…having col­lec­ted my brother from prestwick we went to Bo’Ness where his son lives and was-waiting with his girl­friend and sis­ter, hav­ing done all the usual greet­ings and cups of tea things we go in search of food, there is a great place? between Bo’ness and Lin­lithgow that does won­der­ful food but it was full and there wasn’t going to be a table for ages so we decide to go t Lin­lithgow where there is a pleas­ant Italian res­taur­ant, we get there, we even get parked at the door, in we troupe all? five of us, sorry they said we don’t have a chef tonight,? so we find another res­taur­ant , sorry they said this is a private meet­ing, we want to try the pub as it looks good but they stop serving food at 8 p.m. and it is now 8:15, we are hungry Gor­don , on Dan­ish time is even more hungry, there is an empty eat­ing place? near the pub, we don’t like the look of it , why is it empty when the good place is full and there is nowhere else to eat, but we go in , we sit down, the pro­pri­etor stops watch­ing telly, gives us a menu, we choose, my nephew heads for the loo, on his way there he passes the kit­chen and sees the ‘chef” heav­ing out a great gob of spit? .…no telling where it landed.….…we walked out.

but all ended well as by that time there was a table avail­able at the good place.…and ooh! the food was good……i think it was called ‘the chop and ale­house’ not sure about that though, them we took them back to Bo’ness and Laura back to Edin­burgh arriv­ing home here at midnight.
