I take it all back, Sir Chris. We need YOU to rub off on CHAD! Alsjeblieft! This is happening almost too quickly for me. I need at least one more day before I can walk a straight, unwobbled line to join you for ontbijt. Not that you've invited me, mind you, but I would come in a NY minute...if only I could.
Chris Phillips: Oh Ginnie: one day I just know this will happen: Astrid can make the koffie
Are we also going to see an image of the Landlady who owned this B & B. I will reserve comment on the quality of the breakfast until more materialises.
But the thought of Marmite for breakfast does not bode well with me ... ;-) ;-)

Chris Phillips: The breakfast was a varied and interesting one Richard
I am feeling ill as the memory of the ontbijt comes back to me. Am I seeing things or are you resembling one of my sets of cats eyes, or sheeps eyes in BPs case?
Chris Phillips: I must admit I look very much like one of your cat's eyes. I sometimes worry about BP: I think they've been working him too hard up at Festung Baconbuttie
I'm a bit worried about the bottle of wine for breakfast. And what sort of establishment places a plastic salt dispenser on the breakfast table?! This surely is the strangest assembly of food I have seen - it looks like Chad is eating a Marks and Spencer shepherd's pie ready meal for one straight out of the foil container. Ingrid
Chris Phillips: Chad is eating - indeed we both are - the finest sheep pies that Cirencester can produce. The meal is a feast of wholesome goodness - with bite-sized tomatoes that can easily be smeared with Marmite and oranges too - to refresh the palate and remind us of the absent Dutch contingent
I see Ingrid is as observational as usual. So are you saying that the marmite was not to go on the oranjes?
Chris Phillips: Surely annointing oranges with Marmite might be construed as a calculated insult to the Dutch nation. Far better I think to continue the normal practice of smearing dainty tomatoes and swallowing them with relish
