Ladies Who Lunch - this time at Booths Cafe

The Ladies Who Lunch only meet occasionally, but this time it was done on fairly short notice, because one of the Ladies is about to move to Llanidloes!
We met up at the Globe, because we'd had good meals there before, but this time the chef was preparing for an event, and so was only offering fish and chips.
So we decided to head for Booths.
There's a printing press in the café at the moment, and it's been used fairly recently to print pictures of cows and fish and vegetables on pages from old recipe books, which were hung up round the walls. Several people came to take photos of it while we were there.
Since the Ladies Who Lunch are also Ladies who Stitch and Bitch, we all noticed when a man came into the café with a long scarf like thing draped over his shoulder.
"Is it woven?"
"No, it's knitted."
"Oh, it's a hat with a long tail!"
"That man doesn't know how close he came to being mugged, does he?"
The food was absolutely delicious - I had the devilled Portobello mushrooms on toast, with egg, and we shared scrumptious chips. And we had to have scones - this time I tried the gooseberry and elderflower jam, which was gorgeous.

So we gave Ros a good send off - with promises to have a day trip to Llanidloes when the quilting exhibition is on at the Minerva Centre. The Minerva Centre also has a quilting group and an embroidery group, and runs courses, so there'll be plenty of opportunities for handicrafts there. There's also a really good vegetarian café on the main street ("I know," Ros said. "We've been three times already!") and the Great Oak Bookshop.
