This is episode 53, which in a round about way means the podcast has been running for over a year. Thank you for listening now, and week in week out. I hope you’re well and you enjoyed the episode last week where I spoke to Andy from Arcade Club.

This weekend it’s been the Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival, the yearly event is now in it’s eighth year and it brings in sellers from all over the country and shoppers from all over the North West.

6 of the best from Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival 2016

March 19, 2016 by Lee 1 Comment

[nextpage title=”Next Chocolate” ]

ChocolateFestival2016

Now in it’s 8th year, I thought I’d do a round up of what I thought were some of the five six best things from this years Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival.

These are in no particular order, and feel free to disagree with me in the comments box below.

[nextpage title=”Next Chocolate” ]

UFO Coffee Fudge

Starting off with the first non-chocolate in my list is this Coffee fudge “man slice” (his words, not mine) from The Ultimate Fudge Outlet is smooth and sweet, just as fudge should be.

Raspberry Marshmallows

Next up we have some absolutely breathtaking handmade marshmallows from The Magnificent Marshmallow Company, there were lots of flavours to choose from including Strawberry and Banana, but this flavour stood out to me. They even threw in a discount for ordering more online.[/nextpage]

[nextpage title=”Next Chocolate” ]

Lauden Chocolates

One of the popular collections here, they had almost all sold out when I got there. A box of 5 Lauden chocolates, these are Passion Fruit, Salted Caramel, Fresh Mint, Raspberry and Mediterranean Orange. These scream quality, on the more expensive side, for example these are £5.

Giant Rocky Road Muffin

Rocky Road Muffin, sorry GIANT Rocky Road Muffin by Homemade Delicious Cookies (or maybe that’s a statement not a company name?). Seriously this is as big as my fist, but smaller than my head.

[nextpage title=”Next Chocolate” ]

Raspberry Pavlova

Raspberry Pavlova Pop Shots by Daniel’s Delights. Once you accept that you’re going to lose a few of the meringue pieces, you’ll appreciate the tangy and smooth combination. Very nicely done.

BrowniesBlond

I’ve saved the best till last. These were easily the most amazing brownies I’ve EVER eaten, and I’ve eaten many.

These were from Brown and Blond. Double chocolate and fudge in the background.

What do ducks eat and where to feed them in Ramsbottom.

March 17, 2016 by Lee

Feeding the ducksAs the days get longer and warmer, getting out of the house and enjoying our town is a must.

One of my favourite things to do with my son is simply to feed the ducks around Ramsbottom.

It’s such a simple act but to a two year old it’s a great way to get out of the house and interact with the local wildlife.

This week I got to relive some childhood memories and got down to Arcade Club in Bury, the biggest arcade in Europe and 4th largest in the world. Did you know we had this right on our doorstep?

Andy and his team do an amazing job at keeping these old machines running, he mentioned that some of them were only ever designed to run for two years, and here they are decades later, still going strong.

One thing that shocked me about Arcade Club, was the price. In this episode you’ll actually hear an audible gasp when I realise just how long you get for the price of entry.
