Today's blog is not about a recipe but about a little shop called CHEESE WORKS in Cheltenham.
This shop is amazing. It is a cheese lovers paradise. Full of cheesy wonders, cured meats, bread, olives, wine, chutneys, oils and............... staff who may or may not be slightly terrified of me?????????????

As a leaving Glasgow gift my buddies Pauline and Debbie bought me a £60 voucher for Cheese Works.
That's right. £60!
WOW. My girls know I like my cheese.
Maybe I'm a little bit like Wallace as in Wallace and Gromit?

Well, I clutched my vouchers and ran to the shop.
I was a bit over excited about the prospect of all the cheese.
I went in and stood wild eyed for about 20 seconds.
Just long enough I think to make the guys behind the counter think I was slightly unhinged (I am).
The girl made a run for it so it was left to the unlucky handsome young lad to serve me. Mwaaaah ha haaaa.
Well I had no idea what I wanted but "said" unlucky lad was very helpful and went through everything with me.
Damn that boy knew his cheeses.
Here's what I got
Look at the Brie, just LOOK at it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

| And this was the end result which I shared with Holley. Classy eh?You know it. |
Well, I had my last cheese to pick and thought that I quite fancied a goats cheese.
Now I can't remember exactly what I got but the lad suggested one to me but said " If you like it quite goaty, then you'll like this".
My reply?
I leaned in slowly and asked in my best M&S voice "Is it like licking a goat?"
After which I flashed him a maniacal smile with raised eyebrows.
He laughed nervously. But didn't answer.
I came back a few weeks later waving more vouchers about and shouted "I'm back". The guy scarpered this time and the girl was left to serve me. She was really nice.
Oh how I do like to like to make young handsome lads feel uncomfortable.
And I still have some vouchers left. Mwah hahahahahahahahaha!
I have a whole other story about trying to chat up a guy when I worked at the cake shop while wearing a hair net and pretending I was a Latino inmate at San Quentin trying to sell him some smokes.
I know, I'm a classy burd.
