Half way round a way in the Gower. The Britannia Inn.
My colleague Pete has been over working on a server transfer project. Not very interesting you say! However his suitcase is interesting. He bought it on ebay it is an antique suit case with straps and everything. It also has some old stickers from various hotels, resorts and airlines. See the picture.
Out for a walk with the people who live on the hill side. Started near the pub (that means we end near a pub), and walked round Frithsden, Nettleden, and Potten End. Weather cool but sunny, very clear atmosphere got some good photos. Towards the Potten End part of the walk you end up walking on roads so not that dog friendly.
There are a lot of cherry trees on the walk, hence the walk name, but we are out of season. The plums however were spot on just about falling off the tree with ripeness. Found some that looked like giant cherries. They were a bit sour but would make great jam.
Finished the walk back at the pub called The Alford Arms, for a pint and something to eat. The menu was great we had crispy szechwan squid, and crab and broad bean salad. Other highlights included, poached duck eggs, slow cooked Chiltern lamb, smoked Grimsby haddock, courgette dauphinoise with broad bean pistou. The pub website is at www.alfordarmsfrithsden.co.uk
Just noticed that my first blog entry was just over 3 years ago, so happy anniversary to my blog. If you click the links in the left hand column you will be able to read it.
In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds” are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.
Tarrentino films are normally violent and this one is too. There is plenty of dark humour and it is worth seeing. Helen thought it was perhaps a bit gratuitous. (3/5)
