It’s a Bank Holiday in England, so we’ve hired a cottage in Frome. Tomorrow we have a lunch booked on a steam train, then Monday we’ll explore the caves at Cheddar Gorge and buy some cheese 🧀.

Frome is very quaint: -

I’m sat outside a olde pub in the sun drinking cider 🍺

[–] Daft_Munks (4724) 8 months ago

Have fun King clan

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 8 months ago

There’s loads of pubs here for me to explore 🍺👍

[–] parkerbot (9734) 8 months ago

I hope you ask everyone in Frome where they're from and that hilarity ensues.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 8 months ago

Lol, I never thought of that 🤣👍

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 8 months ago

Bring me back something nice.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 8 months ago

Do you like cheese 🧀 or cider 🍺?

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 7 months ago

I could get a stick of rock?

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 7 months ago

Can you get a piece of cheese that tastes like a rock that was dipped in cider and is in the shape of a stick?

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 7 months ago

I’m not convinced that you are sure what a stick of rock is.

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 7 months ago

Just using all the words literally. What I said doesn't make sense. How can cheese taste like a rock?

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 7 months ago

Nevertheless, have you ever tried a stick of rock?

[–] samoanjoes (57612) 7 months ago

No. Also, I should mention that cider absolutely disgusts me.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 7 months ago

So, sticks of rock are traditionally found at seaside resorts like ‘Sunny’ Bournemouth and will have the name of the town throughout the centre of the stick.

The candy is as hard as rock and you can crack your teeth if you’re not careful.

A dentist invented it. Got it.

[–] Moderator5 (1471) 8 months ago

Enjoy!

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 8 months ago

Thank you. I will be sampling the cider, lol.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 8 months ago

Wow, looks really nice!
Have fun with the fam😊

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 8 months ago

Thanks. The cottage is really cute: -

Looks perfect, enjoy bro.

[–] nyctc7 (43907) 7 months ago

I had to look up how to pronounce Frome. It rhymes with broom.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 7 months ago

Lots of place names are a bit weird when you think about it.

Somerset fun fact
The Duke of Somerset's seniority is second only to the Duke of Norfolk amongst non-royal Dukes
Current holder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Seymour,_19th_Duke_of_Somerset

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 7 months ago

I’ve learnt something new today.

[–] nyctc7 (43907) 7 months ago

Well, a King outranks a Duke ;)

[–] AndyKing1967 (39083) 7 months ago

It’s good to be The King.

Seymour's seat in the House of Lords was abolished 😟
