Come Dine With Me Premiere Contest Winner

My imaginary resturant is painted sky blue.
Please enter, let me entertain you.

There is soft music playing.
The kind I hope will get you swaying.

Each table has an ocean view.
Never booked out, always a few.

Smiling faces take your order.
The menu will include fresh lobster.

The house wines are oh so mellow.
Poured by a very handsome fellow.

The chef is Italian and sings as he cooks.
He has written a wonderful cookery book.

Wholesome goodness served with flair.
New dishes to try if you dare.

Delectable delights of delicious tarts.
Easy conversation before you part.

Linger over fresh ground coffee.
On paying the bill, offered a toffee.

How soon can we all dine again?
Let's meet you here next week my friends.

Thank you Charlie. My X sister in law Mary and her husband Pat have run a very successful Italian restaurant locally for over 30 years. Truly still the best in town. It was easy to be inspired by what is to be found there.

From South Africa? Sure. But as you pass Lanzerote island, you must bring my favourite sea view with you, from the old town in Puerto Del Carmen. That OK Kai?

Hi Arthur. I'm thinking how wonderful it would be to block book, and for us regulars here to meet there.

I'll have some of that wine and lobster but only if you will join me. Sounds like a wonderful atmosphere, Jean.
