I recently turned another year older (bleah!), and my beloved took me to Mr. Mathis’ Taxi Dining Room for a sumptuous dinner to celebrate (yay!). Who said he didn’t have a romantic bone in his body (me!)? Okay, so I take it back, but it was always in jest. Anyway, it’s doesn’t bode well to indulge me too often. With my bovine nature, I tend to get excessive, obsessive and well… fat!

Anyway, it was lovely, he had planned it all… this is my boy who never thinks too much about tomorrows – that by the way, is one of the things I love about him. Spontaneity, which I utterly lack. There only needs to be one in the relationship. I can’t imagine if we both were; we’d be constantly living life as if we had something stuck up our bum!

The biggest surprise of the day was when my beloved pulled out two bottles of 1999 Vintage Cristal from his car boot. He had asked me a year ago what I would like when I graduated from my CA, and I replied “Drink champagne, preferably Cristal!” (back to that bovine nature I mentioned).

Only one of the most beautifully balanced champagne in the world, every drop was elegant and stylish. Bollinger and Moet, eat your heart out! We paired it with only eating seafood all night. There were sushi, garfish, scallops, the works. Truly a night worth remembering! And it wasn’t just the food or the beautiful champagne; it was also about a kept promise.

I can’t wait to get stuck into the next bottle!
