Week-end of Walking…….

Today I am packing my Bag and Cleaning my Boots, ready for meeting up with Ellee for a week-end of walking in Sheringham.

We will be joining the Cambridge Rambling Club at the Youth hostel in Sheringham for what I hope will be a great week-end.

I have never walked with this group before so it will be good to meet some new people and I have never stayed at a youth hostel before so that will be interesting .

Weather forecast is good, cold but sunny, perfect for walking.

Hope you all have a good week-end,see you back here on Monday.

End of an Era……..

The Cambell’s factory in Kings Lynn is to close, with a loss of 250 jobs.

It opened in 1950, and the cooling tower has become a landmark of Kings Lynn.Whether this will stay or go has not been decided.

The company was bought out last year by Premier foods..

Campbell’s added brands such as Oxo, Batchelors, Homepride and Fray Bentos and the famous Campbell’s soup to Premier’s portfolio which already included household names such as Crosse & Blackwell, Branston Pickle and Bird’s custard.

 Premier said the Campbell’s site would close by the end of the year while a sister factory in Ashford, Kent – which employs 195 people – would also be closing by May next year.

One of my Favorite cookery books came from Cambell’s, it has over 125 recipes all made using Cambell’s soup.
