Joining the ‘Flat Cap’ Brigade

December 24th, 2008

I’ve done it!
Yesterday I purchased my first flat cap and have started to wear it with pride.

Ok, I am only 33 and don’t live in the country, nor own anything tweed, drive a landrover, own whippets, have a dog or farm sheep, but neither do thousands of other flat cap wearers around the world.

Whilst I was in Brugge I found my perfect flat cap, and after the months of searching it was a satisfying moment.

Perhaps a photo of me wearing said flat cap will appear here one day…

Holts of Witham - the best Butchers Shop we have been to in the UK

December 13th, 2008

This morning we awoke early and headed out to Witham (Essex) to pick up Pheasant Paupettes for our Christmas Day Lunch.

The selection of meats and home made products at this shop was amazing and better than I have seen in the UK in the past 7 years.

All items of interest were reasonably priced and we came home with more than we intended to, including Game Pies, Christmas Mince Pies, and a desire to visit again soon!

My wife discovered Holts at the BBC Good Food Show and I’m glad she did.

The next time we are entertaining I will be making a trip to this supplier to source some choice cuts of meat.

The staff were friendly as well - was I dreaming when I visited this place?
