Out for Brekkie!: East Cholderton Farm, Dogs Trust, Holiday Inn and The Clock Tower

Lots of outings but no time to write blog over last 2 weeks!.

Not good enough says Mitzi :(

Busy time of year, so apologies for delay. Went for a morning out Salisbury way, via The Dogs Trust in Amesbury.

Seem to be older dogs waiting for homes here, often in pairs. So sad, as want to take them all home, and just wonder what they have been through to end up there.

On the way home we went for a late brekkie at the East Cholderton Farm Shop.

Yummy egg and sausage sandwich on fresh bread, with a latte - very good value.

The pies looked yummy too, but at £3.99 each a bit too pricey.

We had to do a quick brekkie the following week. so went to the local Holiday Inn in Titchfield. Actually a lovely choice of breakfast in a buffet format. Cereal/crossiants/ fruit selection/cooked, and a pancake maker! As expected - we both had a cooked breakfast, plus with self-freshly made pancakes - which were nice.

Followed by fruit. However - not the cheapest - £11 each and that was after Jan's 30% off for belonging to their gym. But a recommended breakfast.

With our dog walking friends Chris and Barbara - we went round to Barbara's for a festive meal that evening which was very jolly.

Rudolph!! (or Polar) missing an antler

This Saturday we went to Warsash, and found the previous regular haunt 'Valentinos' is now a café called The ClockTower (no real web link yet as only set up 11 weeks ago).

This was a beautifully presented breakfast, piping hot with lovely coffee, and good value.

And the cakes on display were to die for.

Though we resisted. And you can take dogs inside the café which is a bonus!

Few walks out together recently. Weather staying relatively mild, but still fairly muddy though the odd frosty day.
