A weekend in Shropshire

This weekend it was time for another trip to see my parents in Shropshire.

On Saturday my Mum wanted to take me to 'Optimum Joy' a vegan restaurant that has not long since opened. We decided to share two mains- Spinach and Lentil Dahl and Butternut Squash and Courghette Bahjis with Rainbow Slaw. Both were really yummy and we ordered some bread too to go with the Dahl.

Then came the very best part- we shared an amazing chocolate fudge cake, yum!

Then with full tummies and after some mooching in the shops we headed to the Old Market Hall to see a screening of 'The 100 foot journey' with Helen Mirren. It was a really enjoyable afternoon movie and nice to watch it in an interesting independent cinema. The room had lovely wooden beams and grey suede seats with loads of leg room, there was even two seater sofas at the back.

On Sunday we had an explore around some country villages and came across a pub in the Joules chain and had a yummy sunday roast. We topped it off with Mum's homemade bakewell tart and custard when we got home. Perfect.
