It is "The Law" that you have to have a Baxter's pancake if you visit Fochabers!! So today that is exactly what we did. Mine and Ruth's were a plain pancake with butter and jam which we shared with BIL, Samuel had his with ice cream and my Nephew had a slice of his Mummy's.
We also took a visit to the "Old Shop" which is fascinating. It has all the original pots and pans used to make jam, an old fashioned till complete with a Sixpence from the reign of King George VI and a bell that my nephew loved as he could ring it and call "Service please".
Oh and did you know that Baxter's used to produce whole chickens.........................in tins!!!!
Looks like a fun time!
ReplyDeleteBTW, Liz, please let Ruth know the Royals arrived and are being enjoyed. They happened to arrive the same week that my guests from England are arriving! Serendipitous!

I am supposed to be taking the boys before they go back to school - only normally go when we have visitors.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an amazing place to visit.

Baxte's pancakes are the best...espcially the ones with the toppings - they are a meal in themself!! YUM!
