Ah, cool. Although, I think that the local Whole Foods on 4th street 
(right near the offices) have Neals Yard cheeses. They certainly have 
Colston Bassey which mkaes me indescribably happy.

To be honst the cheese thing was a bad planning on my part but still 
came out rather lovely. There's something gratifying about mopping up 
the last dregs of gravy and cheese sauce with a second helping of roast 
potato.
