    There was a strong suspicion that the mussies have tried to burn down Peterborough Cathedral in 2001.

    Did you see lots of Hijabs during your visit?

We have her email address and were thinking of getting a group together and paying her direct to show us how to make exactly what we want. It lasts about 5 hours and by then you've pretty much had enough as it's a long time to be stood up cooking. I suspect we'll be having a lot of curries over the next few weeks as we practice. We made our own chapatis also which was good. They take minutes, so I'll not be buying them anymore!
    I feel a plan B coming on................................

Crossed the road on Saturday evening to look at the menu in another place and sptted a big wad of tissue covered in blood and loads of blood on the pavement around it. Decided to head back after that!

    Cooking course was great though. I can now make a pretty good curry - just have to start practicing more.
    Who was the course with?

    We're going to see the book of the dead exhibition at the British Museum.

    We love Egyptian stuff we do

    A good restaurant and bar too.

    Not much to commend the rest of the place.
    That will do me then.
