What a lovely way to end your trip to Cardross or take the sprogs for a day out to stroke the baby sheep. http://www.ardardan.co.uk/ As you can see they have a tearoom there, sometimes when it's busy you have to put your name down and take a wander around the massive farm shop or garden nursery while you wait, but it is well worth it. Wholesome soups and innovative sandwiches, and amazing home bakery, too. zolita1908 you should get their eggs,  really really nice, if a bit pricey.  and the frozen bit is good, best frozen summer fruits ever Fjord I've been a couple of times well worth a visit just for the grub alone. Although they were sold out of weeping willows in the garden centre   zolita1908 Just make sure you don't go on a Monday, that's their day off.  So you'll not get far!   poodiecat zolita1908 wrote: Just make sure you don't go on a Monday, that's their day off.  So you'll not get far!   Aye, thanks zolita, good point, forgot to mention that. scallopboy Re: For your next St Peters trip poodiecat wrote: I think I'm in love Fjord I think a UG visit is in order those scones were the size of curling stones and the clotted cream is well worth risking heart disease. james73 Fjord wrote: I think a UG visit is in order those scones were the size of curling stones and the clotted cream is well worth risking heart disease.

Fjord How about waiting until a Sunday in April when the lambs should be making an appearance. Plus it gives us time to arrange the transport for those that need it   poodiecat Yay! Will this include a trip to St Peters, or a walk around the peninsula ( should the weather allow ) ? Fjord poodiecat wrote: Yay!

Make a day of it and do the lot poodiecat As long as we're early enough to eat all their scones, wouldn't want all the other people do that   zolita1908 Well i've got room for 4 passengers, can pick up in Glasgow on my way through. ex-tobester The way the weathers maybe gonna be over the next few weeks, best to wait till april/may. If it stays like this then youll probably need waterwings, was out cardross way today on the train and the wind/rain was howling. Fjord zolita1908 wrote: Well i've got room for 4 passengers, can pick up in Glasgow on my way through. Cheers Zos that's much appreciated I'll pick up Ronnie and Poodiecat so there's room for one more in my car.     How does Sunday 30th March suit everyone? I forgot that Easter is earlier this year Sun 23rd so we should avoid all the weekenders scoffing all the scones :-) OK we need a list so throw your name in to the hat if you haven't already :- Zolita Ronnie Poodiecat Hugo Drax Scallopboy J73 Unh@ppyb@st@rd zolita1908 oh and make sure you wear decent shoes....st petes can be a bit mucky on the way up Unh@ppyb@st@rd count me in scallopboy I think that's a wid burnin' weekend.   Fjord Unh@ppyb@st@rd wrote: count me in Added to the list UB scallopboy wrote: I think that's a wid burnin' weekend.   You can burn wid any weekend these scones won't be about forever you know   scallopboy scallopboy wrote: I think that's a wid burnin' weekend.   Fjord wrote: You can burn wid any weekend these scones won't be about forever you know   Not this month, the PA/girlfriend has me fully booked   Fjord scallopboy wrote: scallopboy wrote: I think that's a wid burnin' weekend.   Fjord wrote: You can burn wid any weekend these scones won't be about forever you know   Not this month, the PA/girlfriend has me fully booked   Ah well, we'll just need to eat an extra scone in your absence   OK folks this topics about to migrate over to the Something Happening page but I'll leave a ghost link here in it's place ... hopefully Hugo Drax Count me as a deffo please - any seats left?
