Fishink in Tarporley.

Once again I was over visiting friends in Tarporley last weekend. It’s always a joy to visit there and live in a world of country lanes, rolling fields and most of all tremendous cooking ! Saturday was a day filled with sunshine and the garden plants were filled with butterflies.

We took a walk into Tiverton and along the canal.

Amazingly we came across a Ukulele Festival at The Shady Oak, a lovely pub on the banks of the canal.

It was the first time I’d heard classic Bowie songs like Ziggy Stardust and Life on Mars played by Ukulele ! lol A wonderful find.

We walked on around the country lanes and came across some beautiful homes and gardens.

There was great colour in the hedgerows.

Tarporley village was in flower, and my friends cooking and home produced vegetables were as stunning as ever. I love these purple carrots.

Much home baking, scones, salt dough, paella and peaches drizzled in vanilla and honey before being baked in the oven. Sigh it’s a hard life !

Thanks again to my friends for another ‘totally spoilt’ weekend.
