Seeing Animals at Cameron’s Tearoom and Farm Shop

Posted on February 21, 2025February 21, 2025 by Jupiter

On our quest to pet Highland Cows while staying at The Highland Club in Fort Augustus, we heard about Cameron’s Tearoom and Farm Shop. There wasn’t much to go off of for the venue, but with the idea of seeing cows in mind, we headed there. Cameron’s Tearoom & Farm Shop is on the smaller, cozy side when it comes to seating. There is a fireplace roaring in the middle, it feels like sitting in someone’s living room, and there are a bunch of different sports jerseys hanging on the wall. When we arrived, it was during the switch between the breakfast menu and lunch menu, where the tearoom doesn’t serve food for half an hour. I didn’t realize this was a thing, but they let us come in and check out the menu while we waited.

Finding Vegan Food at Margarito Grill Market

Posted on February 14, 2025February 9, 2025 by Jupiter

While in Bilbao, Spain, one of the big struggles for the group of friends I was hanging out with was vegan options. There just isn’t a lot of places that have lots of nice vegan dishes that are ready to eat! Margarito Grill Market, however, has more vegan options then it has meat options, which was quite a fantastic discovery. The main menu worked in a way where you selected a main meal, sauce, then two sides, which could create some interesting combinations! There were also burger options or salads if you preferred that. All of the food at Margarito Grill Market felt very fresh, clean and healthy.

Exploring Flatford for Lunch

Posted on February 3, 2025February 2, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] The world seems to be defrosting, cold mornings are no longer here, and birds have started to come out in full force! With the opening of Flatford’s tea room, Dann and I decided to check out this National Trust site to see how it defrosted along with the rest of the world. We have not previously been to Flatford before and were curious as there were a lot of things to see there.

River Stour

Flatford has a beautiful river you can walk along or go over, called River Stour. It had been raining lately when we went, so the river itself was absolutely gushing, which was very fun to walk along and see. They have a few locks along the river, along with benches to sit and bird watch on it. The field around the river had some flooding, so a lot of the ducks and geese had been exploring this new pond of theirs, but there were plenty of wildlife around. It’s actually a fantastic place to go bird watching!

Lunch out at The Green Man Pub

Posted on January 28, 2025February 10, 2025 by Jupiter

While out running some errands with a friend, Dann and I wanted to stop for a slightly bigger lunch as we had a busy day ahead. Wanting to try a pub we’ve seen a few times, we headed over to The Green Man Pub in Old Harlow. The Green Man Pub is in a historic 14th century Jacobean style building, with a lot of character to it. There is a dedicated car park, outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. It’s also dog friendly, with treats within one of the entrances.

We went on a soggy afternoon, when the pub was just starting to fill up. We sat ourselves down and checked out the dinner menu. They have a few highlighted beers and some specials that end up rotating along with a classic pub menu. Though we were there for lunch, we ordered off of the dinner menu as that’s what caught our eye.

Group Dinner at Casa Rufo

Posted on January 16, 2025February 5, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] I spent some time in Bilbao, Spain – where I was recommended a few places to eat, including Casa Rufo. Casa Rufo is sort of like a deli when you walk in; there are cans of different fancy ingredients and a deli display, which had a bunch if items that would go great in some sort of hamper. The inside had tons of wine racks, with lots of bottles of wine sticking out. It feels rustic and quite like a hidden gem, where you would find a bunch of small plates and fantastic wine. Thankfully, one of the members of staff did speak English, so it was very easy to order as well.
