Hi and welcome to my blog!

Basically I've been single for 3 years and have really got into going out to restaurants by myself.

I wanted to share the delight of solo dining and the pleasure gained from going into a restaurant and asking for a table for one.

As the Muppet Babies say "A table for one can be fun" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcdu6qjFm1Y


Hope you enjoy.
