Wensleydale Creamery at Hawes - Anglophile Friday

The words, 'rennet' and 'bacteria' and 'sour' and 'fungus' and 'coagulate' don't sound very appetizing, do they. Isn't it amazing that they are part of producing an exceptionally delicious product!

It's been a while since we spent time in Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales. What an interesting and fun way to spend a day!

Wensleydale Creamery employees hard at work...

...for the final delicious product!

Free samples, yea!

I'm posting these photos although it was a dreary day in Hawes when I took them. I'd love to someday take this trip again with my new camera, because it seems to be more able to bring in the necessary light, even on a darkish day. Someplace I read that you should not post sub-standard photos on your blog. Then again, if I didn't post these sub-standard photos, I wouldn't be posting any photos at all. So, because I'd like to give you an idea of what the little village of Hawes (where the Wensleydale Creamery is located) looks like, I'm including a few photos I took.

Look at that beautiful brick street. This is definitely a place to wear comfortable shoes.

Is this what they mean by 'a one horse town' ??

Barn and pen right on main street, or at least what seemed like the main street.

The rushing stream in March

People seem to maneuver their cars into every possible nook and cranny.

Evidently we beat the hoard of bikers to the cheese samples.

And I don't think they were headed to the Tea Room.

I'd love to rent a room at the back of that tea room.

Look at the view I'd have of the hills behind.
