We are lucky enough to have a really great butchers in our neighbouring town of Frodsham. It's first port of call on barbecue days and as you can see by the sign, also the place you can get some wonderful pies. I have often been stopped by men in vans asking me "where's the place which sells the great pies?" They come from miles around! I was at Coward's last Monday taking a photo of the shop (not this one) for an exhibition on Frodsham which the photographic society are putting on.

I'm in the middle of watching "The Reader" DVD while doing the ironing. Not sure yet what I think about it! So far it's quite slow and Kate Winslett has been naked for most of the time. i am so glad I'm not married to an actor who has to do explicit love scenes!
