Fourth July weekend - America celebrates - and we did too, by heading off on a road trip to Memphis, Tennessee - a 5 hour drive south from our farmhouse. We actually travelled through 4 states to get there - Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee.
Due to the limited time I have here each year - we don't often want to go far from our farmlife, but Mark's cousin Max and his wife Sue have visited us here several times and we were keen to see where they have now settled. First up dinner on Beale Street - above BB Kings Blue Bar - speakeasy style and great southern food, which we shared. Fried avocado! and remoulade, lobster ravioli, fried green tomatoes (something I have
always wanted to try but were sadly disappointing), crabcakes, shrimp and scallops on grits and bone - in rib eye. Downstairs to BBs to hear some blues, then we hit the street. People, acrobats, buskers and blues bars on both sides. First photo is us in the restaurant, second photo in BB's and the third
on Beale Street. As you can see, we had a great time.
