What have all these in common? A rivetting weekend is what. Two days spent learning a great deal about Georgian and Regency cookery in Cumbria -- not all that much about glass, it has to be said, except that our wonderful and hugely knowledgeable mentor and host had not come across a book on what glass shapes go with what drinks, though he did (interestingly) think the fashion element crept in with the industrial revolution.Then on to York where we admired the glass in the Minster as well as the set pieces in the Glory of Glass exhibition in Fairfax House (historic food done by our new friend, Ivan Day).
