We had a very pleasant visit to Bridport this morning. Have only been once before and that was just to Morrisons and Palmers brewery for a tour.

Enjoyed sitting overlooking where the rowing boats are hired sharing a large portion of freshly cooked chips. Haven't done that for a few years, wonderful.

Will definately be returning for a more in depth scout round :thumbup:

They also have a museum where rope was made for the seafarers of old, it was made in a very long single length :wave:

It was nice to see sensible parking charges and not the rip off prices you normally get. Mind you £3.60 for a large portion of chips makes up for it :shock: , but worth it :)

:shock: Sh*t, not another one. The rum will only stretch so far you know. Mind you, there is the initiation ceremony to go through for new Captains.

Not a pretty sight :shock:

I can recommend a very nice red for you to try Moby.
I don't normally drink Californian red wine but we had a bottle left at our holiday rental for us. And very nice it was too. It's called 'Crows Landing' and was a 2018 PETITE SIRAH. Tricky to obtain but worth it if you can get it. I have seen Ocado sell it.

P&O used to sell a Californian Red which was based on a heady Italian grape, yours sounds ' lighter ' but worth a try :wave:
