This course was a birthday gift from family. My daughter in law and I attended and both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Katherine is an excellent teacher and she guided us well throughout the process. I can thoroughly recommend this course for those who enjoy arts and crafts.

There comes a point in your life where you realise that with certain things, quality far exceeds quantity, and chocolate is the perfect example of this. Today has ignited my love for true, unadulterated, snobbish dark chocolate. Presented with 3 options for a delicious vegan, single origin, dark hot chocolate; Mexican, Ecuadorian and Brazilian, all bringing their own unique subtle differences. I chose to go for the more savoury and smokey Brazilian dark chocolate. It was nothing like I'd tasted before in a hot chocolate. It was semi sweet, naturally smokey and simply fantastic. I fell in love with this chocolate. We went back so my wife could have a mocha (also using the Brazilian chocolate). The lovely lady was able to answer all my random chocolate questions, us she gave us tasters of the different chocolates and the really delicious vegan chocolate ice cream. I really wanted to also try the 70% Ecuadorian hot chocolate, so I ordered one of those and also a bag on the Brazilian chocolate beans so I could make some at home. Funnily enough, even though the Ecuadorian chocolate is darker, the hot chocolate tasted a lot smoother and sweeter and a lot less chocolatey. Just a bit more like sweet milk. My wife preferred it but I didn't like it anywhere near as much. (I also felt sick after two hot choccies in a row, but I had to do it, in the name of science!) I'd love to try the Mexican on my next visit to harborough and no doubt buy more Brazilian chocolate! Anyway, I've rambled enough, but you get the idea. Theres so much to try, discover, explore and treat your senses. I'd 100% recommend.

Visited Farndon Fields farm shop to use a couple of gift vouchers my wife’s sister gave us as a present for our Golden wedding anniversary, I’ve never been a fan of afternoon tea most hotels I’ve eaten afternoon tea are a bit of an afterthought and highly priced at that. However this is not the case at Farndon Fields their version of afternoon tea is of a different order perfectly sized sandwiches fresh home made scones just the right amount of jam and clotted cream,beautiful two bite cakes of a high quality sweet pastries made with all butter with a superb macaron, we enjoyed this with a nice bottle of Prosecco. Would we visit again absolutely my wife wants to try the savoury version.

We spent a few days recently in the Market Harborough area visiting friends and doing a bit of antique shopping. Just off the high street was this small shop with a friendly proprietor and a very interesting selection of mostly small items. We each came away with a few items that were reasonably priced and unique.
