Harts Barn at Longhope in the Forest of Dean is just 20 minutes drive from Middletown Farm.

There is the Harts Barn Cookery School and a lovely selection of independent shops to explore.

Graham and I joined Cherry and Andrew for the most delicious Sunday Roast at the Old Dairy Tearoom and it was utterly delicious. Succulent roast beef and turkey with home made sauces and gravy and Yorkshire pudding and the most enormous selection of fresh vegetables glistening in a light coating of butter. The Yorkshire puddings were so light and delicious. The stuffing was a rather nice surprise, being flavoursome and slightly crunchy on top. We all really felt that the cook had gone to a lot of trouble to make these fabulous meals absolutely perfect for us all.

We enjoyed chatting with the other customers and the owners and staff at The Old Dairy Tearoom and looking at all the lovely things they had for sale including fourteen varieties of tea.

We had such a wonderful time - Cherry and Andrew booked in for a brunch with some of their friends who will be staying with them in a couple of weeks time

I can highly recommend The Old Dairy Tearoom for any meal or snack at any time of the day.

There is a pop up pub in Upleadon Village Hall every month. Today, Patty Boy, a new local business run by a family of parents and fourteen year old twins, had their first stand selling their burgers. There was an excellent selection and they were all very popular. So good to see a new local business making a great start.

Upleadon Rememberance Service this morning. People from the village of all ages turned out in good numbers and we paid our respects to those who had given their lives in the war. We prayed together and listened to a recording of the Last Post and heartily sang the National Anthem.
It is always so good to make the effort to get together on these important occasions; just to stop and think and be very very grateful.

All you need to make you happy is to stop and look for a while at the beautiful gifts the World has given us

Today we have

a sunny day,

bright blue skies,

sunlight bouncing off the leaves on the trees,

and shadows across a freshly mown lawn.

Another lovely night out yesterday at The Bay Leaf Indian Restaurant in Malvern with the amazing Timeform gang.

This is an unlicenced restaurant so you need to take your own alcoholic drinks. Soft drinks are available with the meal. This means that the food you eat is surprisingly inexpensive. You can have a very good supper for very little money

I was with a lively group of people with plenty to talk about - mostly horse related conversations. Most enjoyable.

The wait between ordering and actually getting your food is often about an hour so it’s no good for people in a hurry but the time flew by for our party with plenty of good conversation and laughter.

I would recommend The Bay Leaf; there is a lovely friendly atmosphere and I always have a good meal and an enjoyable evening there.

Bayleaf is a lavishly furnished restaurant cm takeaway in Great Malvern offering quality Indian food at affordable price.
