    We went to Westonbirt Arboretum yesterday.  Beautiful, sunny day and the autumn colour were fabulous.

    Very envious. When we lived near Bath, we had annual passes and would visit almost on a weekly basis. Watching the change of seasons there was amazing.

    My RTBC today is the existence of the wonderful Fen Farm Dairy … I took some of their wonderful Baron Bigod cheese to @Hostafan1 the other week and he absolutely loved it … you can see where and how it’s made on the One Show tonight

    Wonderful cheese! 😋 

    I have nothing to do with the dairy … I just love their cheeses … so does @didyw 😊

    Yes @Uff, that type of cheese, Brie/camembert ... a soft rinded cows' milk cheese with a really good 'nutty 'flavour... initially they only made an unpasteurised version but they've recently started making a pasteurised version too.  It is absolutely delicious ... ask @Hostafan1 🤤

    ETA  ... I've just found this to give you a good idea of what it's like and how it's made ... and now my mouth is watering https://fenfarmdairy.co.uk/cheese/

    I'm so glad they're getting the recognition they deserve.  They're only a very small dairy.  

    WHOOPS!   I misread the newspaper article ... it's on the 'We are England' programme on BBC 1.

    You can see the marvellous We Are England programme about Fen Farm Cheese, that makes the now famous Baron Bigod on iplayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001db5c/we-are-england-farming-england-our-cheese-farm
    And we are so pleased that Jonny is supporting our Food & Drink Festival here in Bungay this weekend by taking part in the Food & Farming in the Waveney Valley debate this afternoon as well as having a stall selling their wonderful cheeses and other dairy products (the Bungay Butter is the best butter ever!) at tomorrow's street market!
    Glad you both like the Bigod @Dovefromabove and @Hostafan1!
