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: -

Have fun King clan

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

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

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

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

Lol, I never thought of that 🤣👍

Bring me back something nice.

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

Do you like cheese 🧀 or cider 🍺?

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

I could get a stick of rock?

[–] samoanjoes (53107) a month 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 (35092) a month ago

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

[–] samoanjoes (53107) a month ago

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

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

Nevertheless, have you ever tried a stick of rock?

[–] samoanjoes (53107) a month ago

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

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month 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.

Enjoy!

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

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

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73717) a month ago

Have fun with the fam😊

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

Thanks. The cottage is really cute: -

Looks perfect, enjoy bro.

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

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month 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 (35092) a month ago

I’ve learnt something new today.

[–] nyctc7 (42012) a month ago

Well, a King outranks a Duke ;)

[–] AndyKing1967 (35092) a month ago

It’s good to be The King.

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