Very busy

Because of the alumni club, I went back to my alma mater for a small gathering. Oh! No need to find a restaurant to eat! Because it has become St Elphin's Park and a restaurant open to the public called The Orangery. Ten years ago, it had actually switched to a hotel, but despite the epidemic to put the property up, the Audley Group finally took over the operation of the health care center. The whole feeling is very special, despite remembering that the dormitory used to be dilapidated, but now it has been renovated to the extreme. Although the food at school used to be so bad, it's OK now. Thanks to the hard work of old students and restaurants in the area, I cherish every gathering even more after the pandemic. Many boarding memories flooded up....... The principal was fined standing outside, the students on duty had to clean the stairs in the lobby, dived into the kitchen in the middle of the night to search for food and so on. Let’s talk about the famous British dish – Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. The roast beef needs no description, in addition the Yorkshire pudding is actually a piece of butter pie crust that creates a small bowl of shape, the taste is probably Danish full on and off, not sweet. I like to use it to fill barbecue sauce, and finally ate it. The restaurant's dishes are playing normally, up to the standard of a three-star hotel. Maybe British cuisine has been lagging behind elsewhere, however the place is beautiful and there is a large garden to take pictures.
