The Pickled Orange

We were wandering along the High Street in Hawick, wondering where and what to eat, and lingering by a sign for "The Pickled Orange". A passerby announced that this was a great place to eat; that everything is freshly cooked; good homemade food etc. so we followed up on her recommendation for a light lunch there and headed down a narrow alley to a doorway. It was a lovely place, quite tucked away and dark, and the food was indeed very nice. However, the place was also nice for its lack of music, and for its cosy acoustic. All the other tables were taken up with ladies, lunching. The music of Scottish women talking together in a small, low-ceiling space was a nice accompaniment to lunch and I recorded the sound because it is so rare to find a place to lunch where there is no background music, and where all you can hear is the nice sound of people enjoying one another's company. EDIROL R-09 inbuilt mics for this one, another super simple recording set up.
