Christmas Lunch at the Greedy Duck
With great anticipation it would be Eleven of the Lads that made their journey to the Greedy Duck, a public house situated on the outskirts of Morley in a pleasant rural setting.
The group consisted of Keith, John, Derek, Malcolm, Russel, Mark, Glenn, Brian, Colin, Dave and John Howarth. All arrived at the pub car park at about ten minutes to midday, the doors to this establishment opening a few minutes after midday, the lads were soon shown to their pre booked table and the drinks began to flow so to speak along with the various conversations etc. Some 15 minutes later and our choice of starters began to arrive, but it was soon apparent that the soup dish was not hot enough to suit most of us , so was returned to the kitchen to be sorted out, which the chef rectified at once. The soup proved enjoyable as did the mushrooms but the same cannot be said about the main course, a few of the lads feeling a little disappointed with this serving, the pudding course was just about average, pity because it had all been served to us by a pleasant and thoughtful waitress.
Now with the time approaching 2:30 it was time to bid farewell to the Greedy Duck and begin our respective journeys home, not before wishing each other all the best for Christmas and looking forward to meeting up again in the New Year.
Upon reflection today’s experience at the Greedy Duck was a little lacklustre, no atmosphere and a well below average Christmas lunch, only the joy of seeing each other and the banter that we exchange amongst ourselves lifting our spirits as it always does.
This year as seen 40 plus adventures undertaken, which could be a record, all done with enthusiasm and fortitude, we have overcome certain difficulties in pursuing our dreams and aspirations in making each outing as thrilling as it could possibly be. Here’s looking forward to many, many more.
Cheers Everyone and a Merry Christmas to All.
