In the afternoon, after taking Mike back to Brixworth again (oh, to have a social life like his!) Sophie and I went to Farndon Fields Farm Shop for a cup of tea. A lot of people were sitting outside as the weather was lovely but we opted for a table by the window instead. I just knew that as soon as we started eating a swarm of flies and wasps would descend!
Sophie chose a chicken and bacon sandwich while I enjoyed a delicious warmed scone with butter and cream. I forgave them for the tea served in a weird cafetiere as it was very good indeed. Sophie's sandwich was packed with chicken, bacon and sun-dried tomatoes and came with a pot of chipped potatoes and a salad. Very good value!
After our refreshments we wandered around the shop and I bought some corn on the cob and courgettes to go with our barbecue tonight. As ever Sophie managed to find a rude looking sweet potato...
We also treated ourselves to a "Smokey Joe" Scotch Egg and a small pie to have for lunch tomorrow. Sophie bought us a tub of ice-cream to enjoy before we drove home which was delicious. All in all, we had a lovely time!
On the way home we had a couple of incidents...on the main road we came across a small herd of cattle that had escaped from their field and they were being rounded up by a policeman in his car. They ran past us and eyed my car like they were going to attack it as the lead cow (or bull?) had a set of very large horns! As usual we took the very narrow single track road and I nearly had a collision with a BMW coming the other way! Luckily we both dived for the side of the road and an accident was averted!
Back home we played cards in the conservatory and then had a barbecue for dinner. The corn was absolutely delicious and much better than the supermarket stuff we buy!
