Has anyone tried the Comte at the Coop? Not bad...

By a strange coincidence, 'Blessed are the cheesemakers' are also the words with which Charlbury's own Rob Stepney introduced his recent report for Radio 4's 'From our own correspondent' ... Go to

and scroll forward to about 17 minutes in. There's not much about the Bell or the Wife of Bath, but a lot about heavy weaponry and the unstable political situation of present-day Albania.

I'll go to the Bell first, then go and see the Physician

And I hear the Physician will be in the surgery early next week , and the Three Rioters in the Bell..

You are quite right, Jon! But in my defence Cenarth is on the border of Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, and if you drive up the succession of winding lanes from Newcastle Emlyn to get there it's very easy to get completely disoriented. (Let alone cycle there. I did that once and it's a heck of a climb. Lovely, though.)

Michele - completely with you on Wife of Bath - I had some of that from the Covered Market the other month and it was superb...

Try Perl Wen next!

Cardiganshire, by the way, for the English, or Ceredigion. Just for pedantry's sake. Then again, if someone said Charlbury was in Gloucestershire, we might put them straight!

I feel that way about Wife of Bath cheese. Mayhaps The Deli should get some of that, too? :) Solidarity in cheese, Richard. :)

As a public service announcement, I should point out that the Deli currently has Perl Las cheese on sale.

Perl Las is absolutely the cheese of the gods, a beautiful, creamy blue made in rural Carmarthenshire. We made a pilgrimage to Caws Cenarth (where they make it) in the lanes above Newcastle Emlyn this summer to get some. Now it's available in Charlbury I may eat nothing else.
