Separate from the tour stuff, had to be up at 05:40 this morning for a transfer to the airport.
Which meant I was up and about early enough for a mushrooming session.
Some may think it is a piece of cake, but there is one in this picture. Which is how most of them are found.
These may have other uses 
Today’s crop already drying, BUT having fresh ones for Pork Neck & Wild Mushroom Sauce tonight
And some other free food has fallen from the sky this week
New bedside tables😁
Lidl’s fresh meat fridges after 16:00 and the orange stickers…
Such a choice of stuff as cheap as the chips that can go with many of them. Fresh Cod for Fish & Chip night for 2 tomorrow Pounds 1.20
Even found VINTAGE Cheddar cheese for the 1st time in Poland on offer.
Vintage is not a reference to its ageing process by the manufacturer- it is an accurate description of how far past the use by date it has gone
I got to meet the lovely but a little bit awkward Richard Ayoade today at a book signing.
I like his tv comedy, but those banking adverts… 
Opened today in the next door village 2.5kms away.
Lidl Plus, bloody enormous. Stocks Heinz Baked Beans, Vintage Cheddar & 1st time in 9 months Onion Rings & Jumbo sized Fries.
Bangers and mash
Bangers made by own fair hand
Discovering one of your neighbours is best friends with a comedian that you’ve seen a few times.
Local Butcher’s
grabbed some Venison loin from the butchers near hatchets pond - off the Beaulieu estate. Unbelievably good
They also have new Forest dexter topside - that is Sunday’s roast sorted
Good butchers are worth their considerable weight is gold
A rarity nowadays unfortunately and like all deceased local businesses they helped keep money and (some)power in the local area.
Two very nice meals there, so I hope you cooked/accompanied the venison as required and will do the same tomorrow?
Lots and lots of banging red should do it and maybe a couple of veg, if you want to be posh😉
Behaving tonight - going to wine school tomorrow. My palette is a temple
I read that as “tomorrow is fucking expensive and i might just glean get some decent advice”.
Have a great time and bring back something special to go with the joint (not that kind @Nottarf-Krap).
Expand.
WTF?
Are you being forced to enjoy / endure wine?
Doing The first step of the WSET course, just for fun.
If I enjoy it, I might became a qualified wine wanker
I think I suspect a note of jealousy from Bletch here. His deepest desire is to become a qualified wanker, as opposed to being merely a highly experienced one. Bletch, rest easy - qualifications mean nothing when set against your massive experience.
And you, David, are a whine wanker. See what I didntyere?
Drinking and texting wrecks words
Yes old chap, I did indeed see what you didntyere. And I have to say I was mightily impressed.
