Anyone that has been following our quest to achieve our '40 B4 40 Dining Challenge' (To dine in 40 restaurants before my wife is 40!), will have spotted that our visit to Rules was: ‘No.38’, and my wife is now 40 - so, technically we have not done the 40, or have we?
The whole thing was, like most thing we do, on a whim and we have been very fortunate to have had lots of fun dining in some great places.
Somehow my wife has kept herself in fine shape and did not reach anywhere near the 14 stone predicted. I however did not fare so well, and there are a fair few extra pounds knocking around.
During the past year we have also re-visited favourite venues for excellent meals, such as Verveine, La Perle, The Marine, The Raft, The Jetty etc., plus pub meals and a couple of restaurants that we did not included. Add to that the curry house visits and Chinese takeaways and we have not gone hungry.
So...., on that basis we could amend original rules which did not allow repeat visits, and we would have smashed it!, or we could gracefully accept a defeat. Either way it does not matter, we had a great time.
Life without a challenge can become boring, and we cannot have that. So, a new challenge is on its way, my money is on it not being too energetic, and being based around food!
