When me fatha came up from Gloucester last year to stay with us I repaid him the favour of driving round all the places we used to go and we both loved it |

he seems to favour the northern peaks rusty I think so we could be in the right area |

I'm fancying one somewhere else - out comes the old book again. They do worship pork pies at the Old Bridge Inn now though |

I'll have to have a think now. |
