Funny how conversations go. I remember when the Black Panther was at large I was staying in a Caravan with my cousin in a field beside her Mums kennels we were about 10. We got ourselves in o such a state that when my Auntie Wilma came up and banged loudly on the window for a joke and we both became completely hysterical and had to decamp with tour sleeping bags back onto the floor in the house. So as were driving south I was retelling this story when we heard on the radio that there as an escaped convict on the loose.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s called headbanger” said Mum in a most authoraritive tone. “Or is it nut cracker ? Or the big stabber? What was his name? ” pause forebrain to engage again ” I know Hammerhead!\u201d<\/p>\n

This went on for a while until eventually Google saved the day Skull cracker!\u201d I announced triumphantly. So we agreed we should be keeping our eyes peeled for him on our way to Yorkshire – our first night away. It was a lovely place delicious food, comfy beds and dangerously great wine.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0General Tarleton<\/a>\u00a0Inn in Ferrensby. A delightful, delicious, comfy, friendly, warm, open Yorkshire hospitality. Fabulous food, comfy beds and somewhere I would go back to in an instant.<\/p>\n

As we settled in the bar I texted the long suffering husband the wine label.<\/p>\n

\"Trouble<\/a>
Trouble in the shape of a bottle of South African wine. YUM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cOh God\u201d he said \u201cBeware first night away syndrome, I hope they don\u2019t have a piano or a banjo ukulele\u201d. Well we have been together 20 years he knows me too well. Luckily for them they had neither.<\/p>\n

The food was superlative. Delicious. Brilliantly cooked and we didn\u2019t hold back.<\/p>\n

More details about that later for now\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..the skull cracker is back inside and all is well with the world\u2026\u2026\u2026packed and ready to roll tomorrow …<\/p>\n

zzzzzz<\/p>\n
