I found myself out Uxbridge way this past Saturday, at an interesting place called Banjo Cider.   It was a simple but charming place that serves up apple cider in many flavours and forms.   Pictured above are small shot glasses containing cider embellished with many natural fruit and nut and spice flavours.   It was fun picking a favourite.   There are full size bottles of cider, regular and flavoured, plus alcoholic versions also.   Sitting and sipping around a large open-pit fire on a beautiful sunny day was so memorable.
