Subject: RE: BS: Cheese
Slight drift into purveyors of fine foods but as it has already started, who am I to stop it :-)

Elijah Allen's is always well worth a visit. Gone a bit modern nowadays but I remember on one of my early visits a veritable Norah Batty standing at the recently installed check out and insisting that the girl on said check out went to get her shopping. One item at a time. :-) Just round the corner from there in a very narrow alleyway was a marvelous book shop called 'Kit Calvert's'. I don't know if it ever did have any connection with the famous Dalesman and but the owner at the time did wear the same type of hat and attire that you see in such images.

Kit Calvert does bring us nicely back to cheese and I can now break out into Mr Fox's 'The Gypsy'

I stopped an old man I'd met once before:
Kit Calvert, the maker of Wensleydale cheese.
