Rob, that wouldn't be any chance something to do with the celebrated Moscow
farm, which is just by Burrough-on-the-Hill?
It summons up to my mind the notion of a communist Brian Aldridge.
Btw, if you haven't yet, you really must show Omnia the earthworks at the
Burrough, it's one of Leicestershire's true untrumpeted secrets, better than
Stonehenge, in terms of being there, and being able feel the atmosphere, to
my mind.
The village pub does good real ale and excellent food too.
Best
Dave
