4. Need to explore/analyse these
# Lunch was Baron Bigod on crackers - like Brie but better and British - followed by a wee bit of Gorgonzola (at least it's not French) and a pear. Really very agreeable. Dinner is a secret but we've got a bottle of Cape claret that we opened only last night. It would probably vote for lamb. Breakfast was unusual: a sourdough sandwich of air-dried duck. Mmmm. The Co-op's sourdough is not as good as its Crusty Cob but it's pretty good. Makes good toast. Why does the Co-op do better baking than the bigger supermarkets? Dunno. Its Speck (ham from the South Tyrol) is awfully good too.
# That Andy Serkis has nowt on Roddy McDowall."
# "Aye, Gimme Kim Hunter over Helena Bonham Carter any day."
# The Mail was spot on: reports by cholesterolphobe "scientists" instruct you not to eat eggs. Reports by sceptical scientists tell you what they found, even if it is pro-egg.

Suis désolé; the bread lass in our local Co-op says that there's trooble at bakery. Crusty Cob may be unavailable for some time.
