Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

Thanks for the birthday wishes, fellas. It was a nice quiet evening of fine food and drink. Tonight I am having a number of finer things...

It's a deal! :thumbsup:

Tonight, though, it’s beer for me. The seasonal winter beers are starting to show up on shelves here, but with it hitting 90 degrees F here today, something more tropical seemed appropriate:

I'll pick up a winter beer next time. :)
 
Thanks for the info Jack I'm going to have to visit that. And what a great picture! Quite sad though isn't it to see all that hard work wasted when there was obviously no need for those grinding wheels in the end.
I come from the Manchester side (the wrong side o' Pennines) these days :( When I lived in York we always drove out from Sheffield to places like Stanage Edge as one of our group was teetotal. I think you miss a lot in cars.
These days I spend a lot of time chasing standing stones, ancient crosses and chapels. That Britain Express is a great website. I also use www.megalithic.co.uk.

That's a great composition Dylan, your Lambsfoot is taking on some real character :) :thumbsup:

It's a good place to start and end a walk Donn, you can walk down along the banks of the River Noe to Baslow, and then back over the edges of Baslow, Curbar, and Froggatt (checking out the stone circle on the latter), or up alongside Padley Gorge, and then head over to Carl Wark or to Lawrencefield (close to the Surprise View on the A625). I agree with you about the cars my friend, and thanks for the link :) :thumbsup:

LOL! :D It's the cafe at Grindeleford station Donn, on the Manchester-Sheffield line. I remember when the cafe was actually part of a working station, but that is 50 years ago. For decades, it was run by a notoriously miserable bloke called Phil, who littered the walls with hand-written notes with various 'rules', and you couldn't ask for even the slightest variation from the menu (eg they'd make you a cheese sandwich or a ham sandwich, but woe betide anyone who asked for a cheese and ham sandwich!). They keep the remaining notes (and the large sign outside) up now as a bit of joke, but the older ones are starting to crumble from old age. It is a great down-to-earth cafe, with pint mugs of tea, and a fantastic chip butty. I thoroughly recommend it :thumbsup: Excellent photo my friend :) :thumbsup:

Interesting to see so many Yorkshire pudding entries. Where I come from it's always the starch with roast beef.
All the "toms" remind me of yet another Monty Python bit, of course.
 
Lots of great food content in this and the Guardians thread lately! I feel like I've gained a few pounds just browsing. :D

Drinking this one from Oskar Blues this afternoon. Not sure about the combination of coffee and IPA. It's not bad, but it is unusual.
