pete14 Posted May 6, 2022 #34401 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Looks very nice Josy. Opening restaurants in the old pottery factories seems to be the flavour of the month round here at the moment. It is good that they are using local crockery as well. We are about a mile away from the Churchill factory which seems to be one of the few ceramics businesses that is still in operation (but not quite using the traditional methods).

It was the first time that we have eaten there but it will not be the last. The food was excellent but the portion was too much for me so sadly no dessert. OH was happy to see that the plates were old Spode designs and we recognised the cups and saucers were Portmierion so pleased that they are using local ware. You have strange laws in the Midlands, the only green things to be eaten with fish and chips are mushy peas. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted May 6, 2022 #34403 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Fishy Friday here too Not on heritage plates though, and with green in the form of capers There’s an NCL liner in at Portland, ex NYC and Halifax NS. Weymouth has a lot of cruisers milling about, mostly overdressed, seeing as it is a glorious day. We spoke to 4 Canadian ladies and helped them find free WiFi, then a couple of older ladies from Texas, who told us they had had a grand cruise and only one day of rain, in Liverpool. They’re Le Havre tomorrow and Southampton Sunday. Forecast is for even warmer weather tomorrow. Phew, 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted May 6, 2022 #34405 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Enjoy your special haddock & chips Brian. The dog is looking forward to the skate bone/cartilage in her supper tonight. That’s her reward for sitting patiently while we ate, with no more than a bowl of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted May 6, 2022 #34406 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Skate wings are delicious, and so easy to eat. They really do have to be very fresh, as I once found out unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted May 6, 2022 #34407 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The skate was my OHs. This was my gurnard with romesco sauce. Rotten picture, with the shadow of my phone all over it. I hadn’t had gurnard till Rockfish came to town - it’s very good. Quite a solid fish but with a nice delicate flavour. Salad! I hope I’m not drummed out of the club for enjoying a nice bit of salad. I had a few chips too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut006 Posted May 7, 2022 #34408 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Morning everyone, hope you are all ok today. The weather here looks good so far with clear blue skies. Looks like it could be a gardening day. Well after arriving home from holiday Weds we both tested positive for you know what yesterday. Hubby had a bit of a sniffle so I told him to do a test which was positive. I had no symptoms but did a test and it was also positive. I received an email from NHS saying I can have anti virals because I am vulnerable, a Dr will be ringing me today. Have a nice day everyone Michelle 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted May 7, 2022 #34409 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Stay well Michelle It won’t harm, and it might help, to take some extra Vit D, to add to the dose you’ll get in the garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tested positive on NYE l doubled my dose as it was recommended by a friend. I have now reduced it to one as I spend a lot more time in the garden. Our weather here in Bolton is lovely this morning so a day gardening is on the cards. My problem is tree pollen, my hay fever has been really bad this week. Hey ho, I love my garden so I will fill my pockets with tissues and soldier on. Glad you had a good holiday, just sorry you came back with the virus. Keep safe.

Have a nice day everyone Michelle Sorry to hear that, Michelle, but glad that you’re hearing from a doctor about the antivirals in view of the five day window. The arrangements are apparently working well for those entitled to them, and with luck you’ll get Paxlovid or an infusion today or tomorrow. From the lack of symptoms, though, maybe it’s just a very mild infection anyway. At least you’re at home, though, which is something. Hope all goes well for you both. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Marabel potatoes bro, I buy mine from Asda, and they have a beautiful flavour. They're yellow and buttery and don't break up however you cook them. Marfona, Lincolnshire potatoes, are the same, but not all greengrocers sell them. Sis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use nothing else, and haven’t done for years. Straight from the farm gate at £6 for a 25kg bag this year. Wonderful spud, but as you say not always easy to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
