Alongside the amazing weather there has been some amazing eating experiences. Last Sunday being one of them. Steve and myself alongside our friends Nick and Harry of Devon Food Hour fame headed off to Windout Barn near Tedburn St Mary. What an afternoon.

Oh my goodness! Haven’t we been lucky with the weather this week? Is summer finally on its way? My Week In Pictures starts this week with a barbecue. Tim joined Steve and myself on Sunday evening for a spot of alfresco dining. I had been sent some Gosh! vegan burgers to try so we decidedRead more
