On the Road to friends and high places: Part One Close knit friends
So fellow travelers, last year I wrote about the best pickles in the world. Two weeks ago I had lunch with the creator of those pickles, my friend Kate, as well as some other friends and fellow members of the Bedlam Farm Creative group.

The Barn Loft
