Enjoyed the rambling nature of it most of all. Perfunctory critiques be damned!

I thought he was...?), when he had kids, when he split up, when he came out (at last!), when the business went belly up :((...but he and the RFS are still there and that alone deserves a medal.<BR/><BR/>As for the food, don't forget the jams, chutneys and other take home items. The tomato relish is my fav. Goes really well with their vege pastie. <BR/><BR/>If you want a total artery clogging breakfast try eggs foodstore (eggs, smoked salmon, hollandaise).<BR/><BR/>The only thing that has put me off the place in recent years has been waiting for a table on the weekend and slow service. Maybe that's changed? I don't know, I tend to only get takeaways now. And of course, to catch up on the Chronicles of Ricky!GShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963643826578219126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20913101.post-1149483587846347572006-06-05T14:59:00.000+10:002006-06-05T14:59:00.000+10:00Those ricotta pancakes look awesome.
