Butcher Bro 2 – Barker Bros Butchers – Great Shelford

Try as I might, I found it impossible to get a clear shot of the Barker Bros shop front.

There is however, a great selection of food on offer too. This visit was a belated birthday surprise for me, and after a few hours in … Continue reading The Pint Shop ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§
