Passport to happiness… Roy Plowman (left) With Hinchliffe’s Farm Shop
Partner Simon Haigh and a collection of pies
Former policeman Roy Plowman and wife Pat are set to emigrate to Spain.
But Roy won’t leave without stuffing a suitcase full of his favourite
pies!
The 67-year-old is refusing to leave Huddersfield unless he has enough
pies to last until the couple return in the summer.
“I can’t live without my pies and pastries,” said Roy, who is a member
of Gledholt and Honley male voice choirs.
“The things I will miss when we move are family, friends, Huddersfield
Town and pies from Hinchliffe’s Farm Shop at Netherton.
“In Spain they don’t do pies a pie in Spain it is like eating plaited
sawdust.” the couple have bought a static caravan on the Costa Blanca.
They also have one in Filey, where they will enjoy the English summer.
Roy and Pat, also 67, have learned Spanish so they can keep on asking
for a pukka pie. Then when they are back in the UK they can restock at
Hinchliffe’s.
“My favourites are pork pies,” said Roy. “I will definitely keep
looking for a decent pie over there, but I don’t think I will have much
luck.
“These pies I am taking over are my lifeline,” he added.
