It's been rather exhausting for me too, I have to say.
Part of me wishes I'd waited till we were eating to ask, but once she realised that it was so close to where we are, there was no stopping her from visiting really - I used the opportunity to pop the question at least outside the restaurant and then break the news that we would be eating there the following day (I had a feeling that once we got in there, she would guess I'd propose anyway, so the bonus was that it was still a surprise). Still, if I hadn't done that, we wouldn't have gone into the Hind's Head, which is the pub that Mr Blumenthal runs across the road and got chatting to the bar staff there, who were lovely. They found out that unfortunately Heston is filming all week, but we are leaving Cat's Big Fat Duck cookbook with them so that he can sign it. We'll get a better picture of the ring on soon enough.
Incredible.
