Yorkshire Day Two!

Up early, and a light breakfast with granola and yoghurt and some toast, keeping it healthy!

We wandered up to the Wensleydale Creamery for their 10:30 tour, and managed to join a large bus tour for the cheese making demo.

It was well presented and interesting, we’ve seen cheese made before, but it was entertaining, and interesting to learn about the history of the creamery (and how they were probably saved by Wallace and Grommet!).

We got to taste all their cheeses and marked out these ones as the ones we wanted to buy:

• Blue - not too blue for Gayle
• Kit Calvert - nice lightly mature flavour
• Smoked - nice smoky cheese
• Ginger - adds a lot of flavour to the base Wensleydale

After, we wandered back into town, and it was drizzling rain, so…we popped into The White Hart inn for Sunday Lunch, and it was a great find.

I had the “Triple Roast”, beef, pork and chicken, and Gayle opted for the Chicken, with a nice side serving of tasty veg.

I had their brownie dessert and Gayle had the “Black Forest mess” and both were fantastic.

Great food, a pint of Aspalls for Gayle, and I opted for the Black Sheep blonde, Sunday lunch was great, one of the best of this sort of lunch I’ve had.

We ended up slipping into a food coma, and spent the evening relaxing in the van watching TV.
