I fell in love with bakewell a few years  back. It’s just over an hour away from us.  I felt very English sat there with my pot of tea and bakewell pudding. Had a superb Indian at night too. Will be making a few more visits. I’d imagine Christmas time there would be lovely. 

Yeah, I discovered I don't like 'authentic' bakewells. I just like the commercialised iced and cherried version.

You’re on about the tart. Have you ever tried the bakewell pudding ? 

Yeah, I tried a few versions of things and my main thought with all of them was 'lard'.

But then, I also thought Kendal Mint Cake was crap in Kendal.

Don't even get me started on what I tried in Cockermouth.

Reminds me of a fantastic weekend in Brest.

Completely forgot it was Easter really as house viewings has dominated spare time lately. 3 more in for today, spending the day in Caerphily mostly, and then wondering if we can find a magic combo of nice place to visit on Monday that also will not appeal to crowds of other people.

Sitting in the garden in the sun and drinking a few beers...erm...

Yep that's pretty much it for the next three days 😀

Days like today I hate living in a flat with no outdoor seating :(

Chilled today, just went up over Clent Hills.

Saturday -Escape room, followed by food at Indian Brewery @Xela @mottaloo It’ll likely be a mix grill (so I’llet you know how it is. ) After that, few beers round town.

sunday, hangover, some revision again and family time

Good lad, don't forget a few pics 😉

 

By the way,  is that the escape room place on the corner of jockey and chester roads ? I thought it had shut down. It looks that way. Enjoy anyway !

Yeah I feel for you.

Finally got ourselves inside about 10 minutes ago and I'm feeling very well oiled and slightly sunburnt and extremely happy. 

Days like today are what it's all about.

I’m too busy eating to take photos of food ;)

 

Escape room is under the arches by Indian Brewery, not sure what the street name is

Spent some time today watching water voles.

Also spent some time sat on the grass, eating a Solero, wearing dark glasses, watching the ladies walk by.

I've listened to some Moody Blues 'cos my missus bought me an album.

Now I'm off out. So far so good.
