Bloggers that Talk the Talk and Never Walk the Walk

I've often come across blogs and websites that simply write about various topics but have neither experienced the task or undertake the role. Well, not here on Biggin SK17 as I do go out a lot and check out these events myself. So, no need for comparison sites dot coms which has all got a little over the top. I've also been walking in the Peak District 2007, so I literally walk the walk too. So, what's up next? This week's a treat:-

Introducing Feature of the Week: The Ashbourne Village
The Lamplight Restaurant
Address: 4 Victoria Square, Ashbourne DE6 1GG
Phone: 01335 342279

I've selected the Lamplight as it is an excellent restaurant and I insist you go. You are made extremely welcome and comfortable by the chef/owner and staff. It stands in a 1493 building with exposed beams, gorgeous fireplace and it's experimental Anglo-French cuisine. I've been there a few times and even mentioned that their food is priced too low for what it is, as it stands high above all its neighbouring competitors. Not a huge wine list but sufficient.

Anytime During the Week: Garden Farm, Riber, Matlock (SatNav DE6 2FY)
I have been meaning to visit this farm which is only 20 mins away from me as it has a unique concept, called "Farm Share". It is an innovative way of supplying you with top class organic and free range food at very reasonable prices. Farm Share is a community thing that is supported by an agricultural scheme, basically we the customers support the farm to ensure that it stays a farm. So, we are their direct customers instead of being supplied by supermarkets or grocery shops. It's the next best thing to having our local trade back instead of all our funds filtering off to some almighty monstrous head office in London. Let's keep it in Derbyshire!

Treat Share: £20 per month
Meat Share: £60 per month
Poultry Share: £20 per month
Vegetable & Fruit Share: £30 per month
