Rissingtons
On Friday I had a rather pleasant visit to the folks at Rissington (Jon Hicks, John Oxton, Jon P Dennis and Simon Clayson), which was only slightly marred by the failburger four of us had at The Eagle & Child (Stow-on-the-Wold), and the pint of rancid Hooky.
This is what the outing looked like, once we’d avoided the biblical traffic queue into the town by taking a 10 mile Oxton shortcut:
After that, it was a quick visit to “The Crock” satifsy Jon Oxton’s fetish for kitchenware, which included these level 6 beauties - mayonnaise, cheese and jam spoons:
To go with the Rissington cuppa (ably produced by Jon P), we sought out a baker and bought lardy cake for dessert, which I haven’t had for so many years I thought they’d stopped making it.
After lurking about in their lovely office for a few hours I made a quick Openstreetmap survey of Great Rissington and Great Barrington without triggering the Neighbourhood Watch armed response teams.
The failburger + beer made an unfortunate appearance later. We may try a different place next time.
Dear Jo(h)ns and Simon, Thankyou for my lovely day out, love crouchingbadger xxx
