Leah's Delicious Dinners

Last weekend saw the first of 2008’s Saturday night delicious ‘Taster’ dinners. We were once again treated ourselves by the company who chose to stay with us and I felt I had to add to our diary the special poems sent to us by Mother and Daughter.

In Praise of Harrop Fold Farm

If you need a haven
To escape from your cares
Try Harrop Fold Farm
In the Valley of Hares

Sue’s welcome is charming
The view is divine
Conversation just flows
Like so much good wine

There are ponies and cows
And a kitten who’s dotty
A fine clutch of hens
And a doggie called Lottie

For Lovers of food
There’s much cause for cheer
For it’s breakfast by David
And dinner by Leah

If it’s new inspiration
That your’re looking for
Discover your talents
And paint with Mike Moore

So if you want spoiling
With comfort and style
Try Harrop Fold Farm
And tarry a while…

Not to be outdone… our delightful youngest guest sent a gem too…

Harrop Fold Farm,
Has such a charm,
The animals are funny,
Even little bunny.
The food and catering,
Even the painting all have such a charm…
It’s Harrop Fold Farm!!

However, we cannot leave out the Birthday boy! His scribbled note in the book read:

‘Thank you for making my 37th birthday such a surreal and beautiful experience!’

Our reply to our guests has to be Thank you for visiting us. Without you we would not be here!

Hope to see lots of old friends (well, I don't actually mean old - I mean guests and friends who have visited before!) and meet many new to share our dinner table (and wine cellar!). Do give me a ring if you would like to join us.

Must dash, the sun is shining and the countryside looks so lovely, I think I must go and busy myself outside - or for those into the joke 'bustle'!

Love, Sue x
