Food bus

 A few weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to go on a foodie bus tour of the local area.  Well, I decided to treat myself as a sort of 'leaving present' for finishing work.

It was last Sunday and I had a fabulous time!  It involved travelling around the county on a vintage double-decker bus:

As soon as we arrived they handed out Danish pastries and local apple juice, which were delicious:

Then we went to a chocolate factory which makes, amongst other things,  handmade champagne truffles.   All their chocolate is organic and fair trade and has no additives - it was pretty special - I feel like never buying a bar of Dairy Milk ever again.  The only downside is that their chocolate is £3 per 100g.   However it isn't full of crap -  I'd rather eat much less chocolate and have it be REALLY GOOD rather than eating loads and it be mass-produced and horrid.  Easy to say ... not so easy to do.  I'm going to try though!

After that I went to a brewery, then a place that makes rapeseed oil, then a local produce shop, then a winery.  We had lunch at the produce shop and samples at every place we stopped, I got to meet the owners and talk to them about their products.  It was fabulous.
