In praise of British Cheese

Cheese on toaste doesent matter which cheese its brill

On a recent episode of "A New Life in the Sun" (i know it's sad, but in my defence, I was laid up on the sofa) a couple of British entrepreneurs had opened a bar and were selling British cheese to the French. From humble beginnings, they went from strength to strength, word spreading quickly throughout the village, culminating in them being extraordinarily successful. It would appear that the French appreciate our cheese more than we thought.

Living only a few miles from the largest, one day, cheese show in Europe, hopefully next years' Nantwich show will go ahead after being cancelled due to Covid and bad weather for the past two. Three years without my cheese-fix is a long time. However, solace can be sought when visiting Southport CAMC site and a 10 minute walk into the village of Birkdale and a wonderful cheesemonger. Hopefully they will have survived the Pandemic.

These days we tend to stick to the Cathedral City Lighter, but I did order some Snowdonia Cheese for Christmas.  That's well and truly finished now, but perhaps I ought to get some for my 70th b'day in a weeks time.  (Never thought I'd ever be that old!! 😃)

Well DSB, I think you might have been disappointed to receive cheese for your 7th birthday but I hope you enjoy it on your 70th! Have a happy birthday. 🧀🍹

Well, Happy Birthday,  David, May your next 70 be twice as pleasant  as the preceding ones  

Thank you Brue and ABM.  I've just got to be really careful I don't put on the weight I've already lost.  I've already downloaded the calories so I can add in the Snowdonia Cheese when necessary.

We've just been up in Wensleydale on our travels and I have to say if you like crumbly creamy cheese it's a very good place to find a tasty farmhouse one!

Years ago I remember a friend who came from Settle could always find a good homemade cheese on some of the farmhouse doorsteps.

On the Isle of Lewis and Harris at the moment.  Been for a walk around Stornaway and the castle.  Ended up going for a coffee.  Youngest daughter wanted a soft drink, so we t to the fridge and.... lo and behold..... a selection of Snowdonia Cheese on offer.  Just couldn't resist it.....  😃😃😃

Oh you naughty young Backslider, David  .

Hope you and yours are enjoying the time up North  

Thanks ABM.  Back home now.  Phone 'died' whilst on Harris & Lewis, so am having to resort to using the laptop.....

P.S.  Cheese now all gone!!
