That little cottage does look rather dainty and window shopping in gourmet/foodie shops is a great treat, evn if you don't always come home with something from there.<br /><br />Wild rice porridge, now that is something that I have not even seen in Scotland. I have to admit it looks rather scrummy.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-10251471909454483402010-09-09T14:59:53.641+10:002010-09-09T14:59:53.641+10:00Glad to see you had such a lovely time!

In fact I'm pretty sure we must have sat at precisely the same table at Rebecca's as you did, I recognise the view. :-DCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-88306929775504733792010-09-09T12:46:49.048+10:002010-09-09T12:46:49.048+10:00The cottage looks gorgeous - and LOL at Sylvia ass...The cottage looks gorgeous - and LOL at Sylvia associating the former King with Daddy.
