Buying British

Out in the boondocks to the north-east of Brussels there's a British store where I hadn't been to in ages. We had some business in those same boondocks today so we stopped at the store as well. British readers may wonder what the fuss is about but this stuff isn't available anywhere else (even before brexit) and for us it's a treat. Tetleys ("make tea bags make tea!") won out over PG-Tips with an extra 50% free and will make a nice change over Liptons for awhile. A great disappointment was that their fresh cheese counter was no longer there. I bought some prepacked cheese as a consolation. The crisps on offer where right before the tills so I added some typically British varieties that I remember marveling over as a youngster when all we knew in Holland at the time was plain salted and paprika and nothing else. We served them to our guests as well.

Seen along the way on our foray was a ruined farm covered in greenery that looked quite impressive in passing.
