Progressive Supper

Last night, Moonface and I took part in a Progressive Supper. (Should that be capitalised?)

We've been meaning to get on the supper circuit for years, but somehow it never happened. The idea is interesting in principle and stimulating in practice: a number of people eat one course at one house then each couple goes on to another house to eat the next, then the next. So for each course, one is sharing a table with different people, then for coffee all the participants meet up at one designated house. In theory, it means that you only have to prepare one course and supply one course's worth of wine.

We had a good evening, meeting new people with whom we could get on from the immediate neighbourhood and having a decent natter with old friends who we didn't talk to properly at our party last week because we were too busy. The food was good, the wine was plentiful and the conversation flowed freely, too. We hope to do it again next year.
