Bourbon on the rocks: FourHobs' first travel blog

We're touring the Yorkshire Dales this week, so little opportunity for cooking but plenty of opportunity for dramatic photos. I decided I can post about the trip in FourHobsinarow for two reasons: holidays in the UK were definitely 'a thing' in the 70s, and I'll feature some favourite 70s foods...

Like Bourbon biscuits. Bourbon creams, as they are sometimes known, were actually invented in 1910 and weren't called Bourbons at all. But why let facts get in the way of a story - I bought a (large) packet to fuel our excursions around various sights across the dales and the lakes, so this first travel post from FourHobs features Bourbon biscuits in precarious Yorkshire situations. Viewers may find some of the following images disturbing.

Should I stick to cooking?! Or am I in desperate need of another holiday...
