I'd love to say that we planned it, for us things don't really work out that way, but here's further proof that Ripon is the place to be.
I must add a rider in that I usually hate the 50 best lists of anything but this one has a ring of truth.
Take a look at this. In a list of of the 50 Best Cheap Eats in the UK, according to the Independent, there are two mentioned in Ripon. We've eaten at one of them and will now try the other and I could add one or two more. It's probably because, amongst the landed gentry in this area (don't forget that Downton Abbey was set here), there are lots of skint foodies floating around but there you go.
Guess which category we fit into?
You do realise that half of the population south of Watford will now be selling up and moving to Ripon, causing rapid inflation, shortage of housing and no more cheap grub !!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I'll be dead by then!
ReplyDeleteThere is a third one missing from the Ripon list, excellent food and doesn't cost a bean.
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind, thank you.
