Food
glorious food: a UK love affair presented by David Drury
11am: Lyme Regis u3a
This presentation, via
zoom, will feature the history of all our British classics, from fish and
chips to curry, roast dinners to cooked breakfasts and afternoon teas to
comforting desserts. David also examines the complete change in dining
habits within a generation and the growth of Michelin star restaurants and
street food markets as well as looking at the classic pubs and traditional
cafes. The presentation concludes with some of London’s more unusual
dining experiences, from eating in the dark to dining in the 16th
century Middle Temple Hall to experiencing fine dining in a prison. David
is a Yorkshireman who has lived in London for the past 30 years where he
is a Blue Badge Guide. 76 of 80 reviews on his web site are ‘excellent’.
Definitely something to whet your appetite!

Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis Museum’s famous fossil walks along this historic stretch of
Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
