The message
from Bruce contains these words:

Is that another blue? Can't say I have ever come across it.

White, reasonably firm, not crumbly. Made with unpasteurised milk on a
farm in, surprise, Cotherstone (with an "e"). If your local
cheese-monger has heard of it, keep supporting him/her, because they
know about cheese - but if they offer to get it for you, ask them if
they know how far it is to Barnard Castle... Alternatively, divert from
your usual route back from Lancashire and call at the Cheese Shop in
Northgate Street in Chester - they often have it in stock(and they drive
over to Cotherstone to get it).


Thanks!

I buy cheeses from cheesemongers in Oxford, Stilton, Biggleswade
(Bedfordshire) and on occasional trips to Lancaster, plus some mail
order. I doubt that the southerners would be willing to drive all
that way, but the one in Lancaster might, or possibly he already does.
I will call him tomorrow and see if he can get some for me. Failing
that I could make a detour on my trip back from Scotland.

I supply cheese (and coffee) to a couple of restaurateurs I know who
are always willing to try something new.
