Christmas is the best time of year for getting together with family and friends that we don’t see enough of! To enjoy eating and drinking lots of lovely local, seasonal Dorset produce together over the festive season. What could be better?
It's Thanksgiving time of year again
Nov 23, 2023
On the fourth Thursday of November it was officially Thanksgiving over in America. A holiday time in which to give thanks for that year’s harvest. What us Brits would call a USA harvest festival if you like, a time to celebrate the good things in life with family and friends. A time to eat and share good food together in order to remember what we should all be thankful for.
