Food glorious food

Well the weather of late has been changeable to say the least and its been hard to plan our daily routine. First rain then wind, then wind and rain, ohh and then wind and sunshine. So today we decided go out and get the weekly shopping done, then once it's all stowed away in the RV, go out for lunch.
Well we've had a lot to celebrate, our 40th wedding anniversary (which was two weeks ago), Mothers day which is this Sunday and the fourth anniversary of our retirement from work which was today.

Cold and Windy

The old Shire

So after everything was stored away off we went to the Bell Inn in Haughton, you've heard me rave about the food in this place before. But as the gods decreed, it was not to be so, as there was a funeral booked in so we were out of luck. Next stop was the Shropshire Inn the other side of the village, well we waited at the counter and after being ignored by the staff for ten minutes as they obviously too busy to attend to customers, we turned around and departed. We decided to try the next village along on the way to Newport called Gnosal which was a mile or two down the road.

What luck! we stumbled on a cracking little place called 'The Gastronomy Shop', a small and I mean small shop come restaurant in Gnosal's High Street. The place is run by Peter & Sara Roberts everything on offer is local produce and home made. There was a carvery for £5.00 that included everything you could imagine that comes with a carvery (which naturally we indulged in) and the best Rhubarb crumble and custard that we've ever tasted.

You would think that we travel on our stomachs.... well you'd be right. So then it was back to the RV to let the food go down. We're trying not to spend too much time travelling about as Kay informed me that every day is not to be treated as a holiday and that we have to get into a normal living routine.

But as I look out of the windscreen at the horses frolicking and wild Highland cattle, the ducks, partridges, Guinea fowl, wild rabbits and Canada Gees. Who's she kidding!!!!

Kay's over the moon at the moment as we called in at Boots this morning and Kay had herself weighed, and was pleasantly surprised that she has only put on two pounds since January and that's after all  the eating out  we've done, the ice cream, cakes and chocolate.

Ohh....I've got to go, as I've just realised that I picked up two bags of Maltesers at Tescos and they're calling to me.
