weekend 20/21 sept 08
Sep. 22nd, 2008 09:57 amOn Sunday, we went Out! to Puxton Park, a fairly new family park that has some falconry displays, which is why we went. Birds of prey are very difficult to photoraph in flight, as you may tell from the Flickr set.
Puxton is really nice - only four quid to get in, and an assortment of animals to see, a good restaurant (what looked like an excellent Sunday dinner for £5.95), a wonderful farm shop where they do their own butchery, and the meat is completely traceable. We bought a duck, and some interesting teas. Umm - roast duck for supper tonight.
Saturday we did a round trip to the tip at Backwell with the plastic bottles and electrical gubbins that needed disposal, to Nailsea for a plastic box for storing rice (they didn't have the right size) and a peer at the farmers' market, and then to Portishead to inspect the organic veg shop that runs a box scheme. It passed, so we shall sign up with Vegbox2U, even if they do have a very silly name. We came back via Sheepdrove to look at the farm butcher there, who also passed with flying colours, so when we have reduced the mound of dead animal in the outside freezer, we have found a couple of good local suppliers.
Other than that, there was fish and chips on Saturday night, thai veg curry last night, and lots more Babylon 5.
A nice weekend.
