Pembrokeshire Day 1 – A Welsh Breakfast
One of the perks of the job as we travel around Britain gathering pictures and features for our websites www.choicemag.co.uk and www.enjoybritainonline.co.uk is a midweek cooked breakfast.
When we arrived at the Old Dairy Cottage near Mathry midway between Haverfordwest and Fishguard in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside we were not to be disappointed. Waiting for us was a Welsh Breakfast hamper one of the concierge services offered by Coastal Cottages Pembrokeshire.
Among the goodies were free range eggs, large tomatoes (apparently in short supply nationally at the moment) local butcher’s sausages, black pudding, sumptuous back bacon, mushrooms and a tin of baked beans plus crusty loaf, farm milk, jam and marmalade and a pack of Welsh butter.
All we had to do is cook it. Now, two men cooking breakfast means a few minutes mayhem and a kitchen that wouldn’t be approved by our other halves.
But it was great to film as it sizzled away and delicious, too, with enough left in the fridge for tomorrow.
Now with the kitchen cleared up and spotless we are enjoying a cuppa and congratulating ourselves!
