What a difference a week makes in the weather here in the UK, last week it was thunderstorms and pouring with rain, this week it's blue sky and a heatwave with the temperature at 31deg.C. which did not allow me to walk the dogs or show much enthusiasm for walking too far.
I had read that The Cheese Boat http://www.thecheeseboat.co.uk/would be moored up outside The Globe pub for a couple of days so I thought I would go and purchase some of their excellent Welsh cheeses.
This is Mike and Geraldine who have operated the business since 2006.
Geraldine is not too sure what a blog is so if you read this Geraldine you now know.
I purchased a selection of their fine cheeses which are produced in Wales.
Yes I will remember to remove the wax coating, unlike another customer who didn't and complained that the cheese did not taste right.
There were a lot of narrowboats moored up and you can see The Cookie Boat moored up in front of The Cheese Boat. I would have purchased some cookies but there was no one at home but being moored outside The Globe I can guess where they were on this blistering hot day.
On the way back home I called in at the Wyvern Shipping Co.Ltd http://www.canalholidays.co.uk/ thinking they had a tea room but no so I went without.
Their office was resplendent in hanging baskets.
And a few boats moored outside.
Being so hot I decided to call it a day as I still had the weekly shopping to do.
Next week who knows it all depends on the weather.
