@Giles:

It is a suet steak and kidney pudding…..Classic Brit heart attack fayre.....

Another “classic” english dish is a sweet version of a steamed suet pudding, with dried fruit (currants), called “Spotted Dick”

Fortunately for Giles’s arteries he didn’t eat this as well

not going to comment on the classics  but place looks super lovely…

If its got meat in it I'd probably like it. Not sure about kidneys though.

Urb, they do a version that comes in a can, great as a snack. I'm going to throw a couple in the case for you check out in October

I had a couple myself while I was over there in May.  So good!  Really craving one right now actually…

What's the name and location of this palatial hotel please? Looks like the site of a classic Brit crime movie, Agatha Christie meets P D James kind of stuff.  I'm in awe.

If I win the lottery, I want to stay there a night or two…..

Very close to our end of the Channel Tunnel - in fact due to some useless navigation assistance from my wife yesterday, we almost ended up in feckin France.  Cue, Giles on intercom at toll gate asking how  we **don'**t go to France with queue of cars getting irritated behind him….

If there were more women in space, I'm sure there would have been manned landings on both Jupiter and Mars already…

@Giles:

What is what?

I was talking about that meat volcano on your plate.

[MikeC]

Followed this for a while and tried not to be too jealous…

[501IH]

Thanks for the info, Giles. Looked at the rates and found my idea of having to win the lottery very much confirmed. You must be doing quite well…  in envy control mode here!!!

We do have a Land Rover….We also have a  Merc C class.  After my 1,000 miles in 3 days with Haraki in the Landy last year, I vowed never to do a long journey in it again....

Today, we went to Sissinghurst Castle….

What we dry Hops in in England - It's call an Oast House…
