Orchard Farm Marmalade Production
…the 2012 vintage first batch…The lengths one goes to to avoid doing the tax, but the organic marmalade oranges and lemons have been sitting in the kitchen since Riverford delivered them on Friday, and we have at least six batches to tackle, so needs must. Perhaps I don’t need to write a blog post as [...]

Learning from our Tom’s & Douglas’s Barn Guests

Happy New Year to you all!
…The Year Ahead in 2 Minutes…What a year 2012 promises to be!

Eating in – Some Local Tips for Weary Cooks
…Homemade Curries in Parwich!…No, we haven’t got an Indian takeaway in Parwich, and don’t suppose we ever shall. However, we have something far better – freshly cooked to order curries by Paul and Evie, whom many of our older (we don’t mean in age, but in the sense of having been Tom’s and Douglas’s Barns [...]
Christmas in the Peak District
Will we have a white Christmas this year? Who knows, but many of us hope so. We have failed in our personal quest to find winter tyres for our car (Honda Jazz) so are glad to say we do have two brand new toboggans with which to help transport any guests whose car fails at [...]
Jerusalem!
…Myths, Legends, Half Truths and Fact Most Compelling and Confusing…What a lovely time we have been having! (Don’t worry, life isn’t all jolly excitements and things will be back to normal on Monday but it’s fun while it lasts…)
