If the deli is the one opposite then I agree with your comments. Oddly enough my only disappointment there was a small pork and game pie which cost £2.60 and was not very appetising. However it did not make me ill.<br />Bob<br />Although I have only visited in recent years I doubt if Brancaster Staithe has changed that much except that quite a few properties have been fairly tastefully converted into modern holiday accommodation. There is also a small seafood shed where the mussels are if anything even better than Wells.<br /><br />Speaking of seafood does anyone out there like scallops? I have had them twice in restaurants recently and on both occasions been disappointed, very bland and rather tasteless. I can’t understand why they are so expensive.<br /><br />RoyRoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-55388933701040924592009-06-18T20:29:41.890+01:002009-06-18T20:29:41.890+01:00Horses: we've all got a story haven't we?...Horses: we've all got a story haven't we? Mine is of being put on the back of the milkman's horse when I was about 5 - no shoes on (scared of having toes chewed off) - and being terrified! Would never go on one again - though I have been on a camel ....... also a dreadful experience.<br /><br />Confirm Graham's assessment of the food at the hotel - outstanding with plenty of choice.<br /><br />Looking forward to the Long Eaton Carnival on Saturday and Fathers' Day meal at Steven and Lisa's. A busy weekend - hope G. is up to it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265308940596696219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-67726027267544712822009-06-18T19:54:20.823+01:002009-06-18T19:54:20.823+01:00Shire horses - my memory very similar to yours and...Shire horses - my memory very similar to yours and Bob's. Being hoisted up (I was about 7 at the time, evacuated to country/seaside)<br />onto this huge animal, legs astride and horizontal, as Bob says, hanging on to this thick mane for dear life! A few days later, there was a boy older than me, also offered a ride, but he was scared and wouldn't go, I was lifted up again as an example of not being scared (though actually I was!).<br /><br />I have been off crab since I was very ill after eating some, about 20 years ago....prawns are my sea-food of choice.<br /><br />Will look for Maldon Salt.<br /><br />You could try Soya Milk, or Goat's milk (very good for delicate tums).<br />We eat much less meat than we used to - we eat mostly fish and chicken. (I know chicken is meat - but not 'proper' meat). <br /><br />'Their's' is an abbreviation for 'their is' which isn't what you wanted to say, afraid I must side with Y and Bob.<br /><br />Bob, so sorry about the chickens. Were they the only two you had? Egg layers? Pets? or both?<br /><br />G, I hope you are feeling a bit better today, take it easy and drink lots.Jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-30281774725723513612009-06-18T17:40:54.069+01:002009-06-18T17:40:54.069+01:00Oft visited Wells but don’t recall seafood stall –...Oft visited Wells but don’t recall seafood stall – looks and sounds good though.<br /><br />‘Diary free’ Coffee Mate? <br />an idea to conjure with – <br />non-blogging elevenses’ companion, mayhap?<br /><br />My mother used to tell of riding an uncle’s farm horse bareback when young, little legs sticking out horizontally. <br />I’ve never boarded a horse and don’t intend to start now – they’re far too big.<br /><br />Food allergies are considerable nuisance. <br />Sandra, now appreciably improved, tries different things again with varied success. <br />I think if you’re serious you’ll probably need to consult a ‘specialist’ and have tests (rather than following some DIY method of assessment).<br /><br />I presume Yvonne never went in ‘The Original Dog & Partridge’ (Arkwright Street?). <br />I only entered once: walked straight to bar (diagonally across very large room) and, when reached, turned round and kept my back to it. <br />One pint (not a place for halves) and out (again looking neither right nor left). <br />VERY intimidating. <br />Lipstick on the glass? Don’t know: daren’t take my eyes off the clientele to look.<br /><br />The possessive ‘theirs’ is like ‘its’ – no apostrophe.<br /><br />Nowt b’t feathers, youth. <br />AMENDMENT:<br />“Fish gotta swim<br />‘n’ birds gotta fly <br />Fox gotta eat<br />Else he gonna die…”bobnoreply@blogger.com
