Sorry to hear your news Tonyav. But you can be sure that she is now free of pain and suffering. Just wish her well.

the laugh is that the best restaurant in Padstow is not Stein property, it's Number 6 Paul Ainsworth....he was recently on that Olympic Dinner cook-off and rivals Nathan Outlaw across the water (2* Michelin for the latter).

LOL, I bet Rick loves him DT.

a fine cup of tea, eccles.....

DT, did you have the Tregothnan Earl Grey or the Clipper Vanilla Assam?

[DTCwordfan]

the latter is over-rated and costs an arm and two legs. One of Lord Falmouth's properties was caught, I understand, for selling cream teas with his estate tea, the problem being the tea was half-cut with something like Typhoo - and when you are paying something like £15, (way over the market if that is true), then that ain't on. Trades Description interest........

The other I don't know..... Assam/Pekoe - and Twinings Scottish Breakfast are my favs.

(and can't stand Earl or Lady Grey, must be the bergamot in it).
