Broughton brothers have 'a wee dram'!?

Eight Broughton brothers spent a great evening tasting whisky at the Rendezvous Hotel Skipton last Thursday 10th November. 
The evening was organised by Wright's Wines Skipton. 
They tasted seven Speyside malts and were told how each distinctive flavour is achieved. 
The '100%' was particularly nice but not cheap. 
A fantastic evening thanks to Chris Nash for organising it.

Longridge Walking Group at The Church Cottage Museum, Broughton

 

Barry Fitzgibbon invited a select number from the Longridge Circle Walking Group to spend an evening feasting in Victorian style at The Cottage Museum. The food was varied from "Preston" shrimps and salmon to hams with pickles and soup accompanied by soda bread. The main course was a magnificent Game Pie accompanied by a Preston delicacy known as "Butter" Pie.
 After a tour of the museum dessert was served consisting of Custard Pie, Jelly, Blancmange, Scones with homemade jam and local cream, not forgetting the Goosnargh Cakes.
To round off the night our hosts served Aniseed Balls, Coltsfoot and Cinder Toffee all allegedly favourites in Victorian Preston.
