This weekend it was the Great British Cheese Festival, right here in Cheltenham, just a 5 minute walk away from my house.

It was awesome. There were hundreds of cheeses, loads of free samples, and I even bought a few. Nat and Simon came up from Oxford, and they left with several large bags full of cheese - very sensible. I was rather miserly and boring, and, thinking of my waist, I just went for a couple of blue cheeses. I wish now that I'd bought more and varied cheeses - there were some really crazy things there, including horseradish cheese, ginger cheese, even stilton ice cream! But sadly I only bought three; the awesome Blue Wensleydale has already disappeared and I am sure that the Stiltons will not be far behind. And I still wish that I'd bought that chocolate fondue; Amazon, if you're reading, please stock it so I can add it to my wish list ;)

Alas, the weekend is over now, and that means back to work. But today, I shall do it while eating Stilton.
