Oh no PFT, you, Domane, Bert et al. Although I do note PFT your predilection for cheese

I've made my selection - and it involves someone else's chutney!

[carorees]

@Pennyforthem You had better bring a pot of your own in case it is not up to standard!

@PennyForthem bring a sample selection anyway, you may be able to drum up some business.

I've booked us a table for 12 o'clock. You should be able to get there for then don't you think PFT and JAH?

Thanks for the vote of confidence ladies, but I did try a while ago and I wasn't deemed 'local'. However, the man who set up the food centre (and Chatsworth farm shop before it) moved on to set up the Welsh food centre at Bodnant and I do sell my stuff there!

My train gets into Ludlow at 11.43 and it's not far from there. As long as JaH and I recognise each other, we should be there by 12, no probs!
What time do you think we'll be all talked out? Ok, put it another way, what time train should I book to come home? 15.32 or 16.17?

Chocolate & Orange Brownie with chocolate sauce £4.50
Crème Brulee, shortbread £4.50
Pecan Tart with Clotted Cream £4.50
Bread & Butter Pudding, vanilla ice cream £4.50
Affogato £3.50
Espresso poured over our vanilla ice cream
[
(From the current lunch menu - we could each have a different one!)

Then I will take a huge tub of salted icecream back to the Hen House
(cottage I 'm staying in )

OMG Bert,@silverdarling what a choice! How to pick? Yes you' ll all have to get one each and share..but what on earth is Affogato? Sounds a bit rude if you ask me!
Ps i'd have the peach tart then i'd follow Bert back to the Hen House for icecream

PPS this would be such a fab meetup to be part of..FOUR old pals who are still new faces to meet x

Seeing as you want to do some shopping too, and judging by how long we all chatted on the hangout the other day, I'd go for the 16.17. Also I have to leave at 4pm ish (not that that should sway you)

Right, I'm catching the 16.51 from Ludlow - it's straight through to North Wales, so even if I have to sit and nurse a coffee at the station, the journey will be more straight forward than having to change.

Goodo! Can I put in an order for some of your fab smoked chilli tomato chutney, @PennyForthem??

I too love cheese - looking forward to trying some of the local varieties, so will need your advice

Anyone coming to this meet who wants some mange tout seedlings? We seem to have grown far too many!

Looks like I'll be bringing a shopping bag with me then!! Yes please carorees!! Would you like a return jar of chutney?
I'm sure I can carry some chutney for you, Silver, but will bring it Friday in the car!!!

Great that means I can have some over the weekend!

Yes please @Pennyforthem! I'll bring a tray of seedlings in pots and then we can, perhaps, de-pot them so they take up less room in your bag...
