In the mean time I have a couple of evening meals to let you in on. The last leg of our holiday took us to a Shropshire village on the Welsh border, to stay with the Father-in-law. The trip was great. Lots of country roads. Motorway driving can be very dull, but winding country roads are just one wrong turn from disaster at any time. Tight corners, oncoming tractors in the middle of the road, death-wish wild animals. I love the lot.
The disaster came in the shape of my directions, who'd have thought that Kington and Knighton were different places? A quick detour later and a roaring fire awaited our arrival, as did a mass of antipasti followed by Risotto. I love risotto so all was good with the world.
The following day we took a trip to Ludlow, a foodie Mecca. Wandering around staring into butchers, green grocers, purveyors of fine cheese and stores run buy local farmers, is my kind of day out. But it was cold. After a couple of hours we headed back to a Beef and Guinness stew that had been simmering in the slow cooker since the morning. The evening was rounded off by a cheese board which included a local cheese coated in hops that was both bitter and creamy.
We've never had a meal picture posted on the FB before! :)
