Phil and I are back from a super eleven day stay in Herefordshire.
15 jars of August Apple Chutney – various varieties – made from Train Set Red Delicious Windfalls.
Learned how to use the sit on mower and cut all the grass. Perfected the three point turn at the grass cuttings escarpment.
Failed to find the lost tortoise, and marvelled at the range of the Lost! poster locations.
Caught the bus into Hereford and made friends with Dominic, the bus driver. In town, Sensory & Rye provide such a hit for morning coffee that we went back for lunch. Yum.
The local buzzard quartet provided regular afternoon displays, and one blue sky morning we received a visit from what looked like all of Herefordshire’s house martins, sitting along the wires strung out over the sheep field.
We started our holiday with a slap up Sunday lunch with dad and Jean and had a local food-tastic Friday evening meal with them at The Temple Inn, Ewyas Harold – AA Friendliest B&B of the Year Winner 2018-2019!
A leisurely mooch around Dore Abbey, and a last lunch at Abbey Dore Court Gardens….
Bargain bird’s eye chilis and ginger from the Allensmore Aladdin’s Cave that is Lock’s Garage, and the best Raisin and Cherry Tiffin this side of Offa’s Dyke helped pass the time on the three hour train journey home.
