Shopping. Not good. Shopping in Dorset. Lovely. This morning we beetled down to The Udder Farm Shop at East Stour in the Blackmoor Vale. Thomas Hardy's Vale of the Little Dairies. I've been visiting the farm shop since it opened in 2005. Back then it was a small affair, a butchery, some local produce and a tiny cafe with about 8 tables. Around five years later they built a new cafe in the shape of an agricultural gin-gan and a couple of years ago extended the retail side into a new wing. Despite all the changes one thing has never changed, the quality of the place. Both for food and for shopping. It is my mums birthday next week so using that as an excuse, we popped to Dorset for breakfast, full English for me and a full vegetarian feast for Julie. After that a hamper of 'made in Dorset' goodies was purveyed and we headed home to watch the racing on ITV. These are what I'd call, great days. Dorset is perfect for me.
