Autumn Mists

The grounds at Slebech Park

Earlier this year and after a rather drunken evening,we found ourselves decamped to Slebech Park Restaurant and Rooms, Wales.

Sitting on the shores of the Dau Gleddau Estuary the estate forms part of one of Europe's largest natural harbours.

Swathed in mist and full of spooky ruins it was once home to the most powerful monastic foundation in Wales, The Knights Templar...

In fact knights killed fighting on foreign fields had their hearts cut out,pickled and re-buried in earthenware pots on dog island...

Dog Island 

Whoa seriously spooky....

I think I need to revive myself with a glass of vermouth.

Back in the 21st century ....almost....

We are working hard finalising things for the Winter Fayre at Great Dixter where we FOLK will be hosting a pop up cafe in the Medieval Barn.. Pickled heart, bread and chutney any one....
