at the Apple Farm Inn

Alison and Christopher loved this place and I did too: David found it a little fancy with its rose wallpaper and plethora of nicknacks. The gift shop contains every gift you never wanted until you see it - like velvet pumpkins, $130 for the large orange one. 


It's away from the rest of town so we had both dinner and breakfast here. I'm fascinated by all the different sorts of Eggs Benedict available in the US, today I chose Californian Eggs Benedict with artichokes, may never have the chance again. It came with a scone (pronounced scohne) which was a flat triangle of shortbread, very crumbly. Odd. David says he knows why Americans go out for breakfast: it's because you never know what you're going to get. 

Joseph the gardener drove us to the train and he asked David what he thought of the decor at the Inn: "Did you find it a little feminine?" David: "Yes".  Then Joseph related how he asked the same question of an airline pilot who answered: "I had a room with rose wallpaper and by morning I'd grown an ovary. "
