Time seems to have been slipping away from me over these past few days, which means I haven't had a chance to pop by your blogs. I hope things calm down soon and I can get back to visiting you all again.
Dh took Monday off and we went out and about to get some fresh air; he's had a horrible headache, so thought some fresh air would help. We ended up going to a place called English and Miller for lunch. If you click on the link you can see what they sell; they have an online store, and the cafe menu.
We both decided to have a ploughman's lunch; as we haven't had one in a long time.
This is dh's plate, which shows exactly what you get.
Everything was very tasty. You get your tea served on china cups and saucers and there was a choice of teas. It wasn't cheap but made a lovely change. Also they do an afternoon tea but you have to order it in advance. They are in Barrie right on the waterfront and it's a lovely area; when it's not blowing a gale and is bloody freezing cold!!! Just along the way from here; you could walk to it if you want is a restaurant The Farmhouse, that is also good and well worth a visit. One neat thing about The Farmhouse, they serve their salads in Mason Jars (jam jars).

That looks mighty delicious.
That looks like a yummy lunch! I also had trouble getting on your blog the other day. Things look like they're back to normal now.
No trouble getting to your blog. Glad you had a nice lunch with your hubby. Hope he is feeling better.
Oh, the Farmhouse Restaurant is beautiful! I would definitely order the salad in a mason jar. I like those, they look so beautiful. :)
I like the selection of tea items at English and Miller too. Your lunch is so lovely. I ordered the Ploughman's lunch here recently at the English Rose tea shop in Chattanooga. It's nice to do something different from time to time.
Mm, a salad in a Mason Jar. Roll on weather to try that in! It's still warm soup and warm things avec here. Last time i ate from a Mason jar I was having a HUGE tiramisu in a Paris bistro. Sigh!
That does look like a good lunch. I've probably seen the restaurant from visits to Barrie- and yes, that waterfront can be bloody cold this time of year.
I love a ploughman's, but have to have the Branston :) Nice to have a day out together xx
Gill, I love your photos. Blogger gets weird I every now and then, but I can see your blog and comment no problem. :)
MMMMMM!!!! Looks tasty Gill. Bet you enjoyed it. Hope husband's headache is better.
I saw the touchy feelie "That's not my hamster" book on their website & it reminded me of how my granddaughter used to love that series of books. A bit expensive but children do love to feel them & join in the answers.
