Very warm, in fact very very warm.
Day spent at Beer. Morning spent at Beer caves, what an experience and what some history. Have visited London Bridge, Tower of London, St Pauls, Exeter, Salisbury and Bath Cathedral's plus many more historic buildings and realise how much we take these buildings for granted certainly not appreciating the building blocks were mined from Beer. You could fit a cathedral in the mine, a visit I will remember for a long time.
After a good lunch and the weather still good it was an afternoon on the beech watching the fishing boats coming ashore. First time in my life have I hired a deck chair!
At 4.30pm it was time to head back to the Old Inn and a spruce up before the birthday treat to River Cottage HQ.
Taxi arrived on time and in ten minutes we were at River Cottage waiting for our tractor taxi to take us on the last step of the journey to HQ.
A bit bumpy but the sixty of us in the trailer took it in good part, good way of meeting fellow diners.
After an introduction detailing the evenings program it was time for a welcome cider brandy drink.
We had an hour to wander and enjoy all what River Cottage has to offer, the cottage, veg' garden, farm, school kitchen, incredible view and of course the main kitchen where staff and chef were so accommodating and interesting to listen to.
7.30pm and time to sit ready for the first of seven courses. Chef explained the menu and promised we would not leave hungary. We didn't ! What an evening, met some good friends before leaving at 11pm for our tractor taxi arrived to drive us to the main road where our respective taxi's were awaiting our arrival.
A great evening to finish a great day. Happy Birthday Lorn.xx
