Ah, not often a post makes me well up. I’ve spent hundreds of meal times in restaurants on my own. Would I Christmas Day? I don’t know, like you say, it’s so brave. Thank you for making that man’s day. I’m glad you and your daughter had such a great one! Happy New Year, Happy New Decade!

That made me quite tearful. What a beautifully written and poignant post.

I’ve already suggested to my two girls that I’d like to book our Christmas dinner somewhere next year, so this was interesting from that point of view.

A few years ago I was in a restaurant with my then husband and saw an elderly man come in and sit on his own, he looked so sad and ate his meal before leaving on his own. I felt so sad for him and I thought about him for ages afterwards, in fact still do occasionally.

Such a heart-warming post. The hotel sounds fabulous. I'd love to do that some time. .-= SandyCalico´s last blog ..Stir Crazy =-.

I’d never thought of eating out on Christmas Day, though I’m a London girl …might even do it next year, thanks!

Yes, I think you have the measure of the man there! And thanks for vacating those tables at the Bull Head, we had a little bit of a Boxing Day party but the kitchen closed early so we had to vacate early and have dinner elsewhere…it’s been a wild one xx
