This morning went out to a local farm shop for breakfast (a service it has recently started providing). Above left shows grandaughters Tuva and Freja). We (after much earnest consultation) ordered two full English breakfasts and three half English breakfasts and then did swappsies - I swapped my two tomatoes for Tuva's black pudding (which she didn't fancy at all, after hearing her mother describe its main ingredients), plus drinks to taste - pot of tea, pot of coffee and fresh squeezed orange.
Ruth took the above photo of the breakfast table after the food had been served and exchanges of goodies made. At this point two friends of ours, ladies of about our vintage, turned up, having ordered coffee. They said hello, were introduced, looked at our table, drooled a little, then Dorothy said "well I'm going to order a scone", and went back and did so.
After breakfast we walked round the farm and socialised with some of the animals. Ann and Nanny above.
Took above photo over a gate of lovely looking brindled heifer.
I introduced the above guinea pig to the girls as Wiggy, and I'm afraid the name stuck.
After that breakfast nobody felt they needed any lunch. Been pottering, and socialising since then (friend Bill called in early afternoon), but really must do some work now, ready for tomorrow - Long Melford.

Those breakfasts look delightful!
Sorry Rog. Should have stressed that food was of excellent quality,as was the service. Thoroughly recommend Hollow Trees Farm Shop restaurant, Semer.
It was! Thank you!
The girls aren't too keen on black pudding because it is often served up as school lunch here in Sweden together with lingonberry jam. Unfortunately the jam doesn't help much because the pudding has been kept warm for so long it's often very dry. Apart from that the school meals aren't too bad, and they're free!
the break fast was yummy!

Hello Freja Laurel. Quite agree that the breakfast was yummy, and please assure Tuva that I'll gladly swap my fried tomato for her slice of black pudding any day.
