Lake House 1983…

There I was dreaming of a beautiful dining room, an abundance of flowers, verdant gardens cascading down to the water, battalions of knowledgeable waiters in long white aprons, a cellar

  • f note – excellent sommeliers, a

discerning clientele, and above all a raft of wonderful local suppliers providing the most excellent produce.
