The Great British Cheese Festival

This weekend my friend George and I ventured off to the Welsh capital (town) Cardiff for the Great British Cheese Fesitval. Held in the grounds of the beautiful Cardiff castle it was a celebration of all things fromage, and British.

Was an amazing weekend and we took part in some of the tasting classes, namely The Science of the Ploughmans, Elegant Subtle and Nutty and Singing the Blues. We meet some lovely people who kindly let me take their photographs. The cheese was amazing, the weather was amazing, all in all it was pretty amazing.

Here are some of the polaroid from that weekend.



This lovely couple had packed in the London rat race and now make an amazing blue. And are happy as larry as you can see.



'I guess that's why the call it the blueeessss'



This delightful man had created an award winning goats cheese, similar to Pecorino. He also took us through the Elegant, Subtle and Nutty tasting class.



I fell off the Atkins wagon, but it was for homemade honeycomb ice cream.



Some mad Welsh birds.



Elegant, Subtle and Nutty. An exploration of the sheer variety of goats cheese. An education indeed.



The Science of the Ploughmans.



The AMAZING man that took us through The Science of the Ploughmans. It's all very technical. Note the blackboard!



Pints of Pimms. Thanks for a lovely weekend George.
