Up at 7am after a good night.
We shall be visiting the museum. Followed by a tour to my English friend.
Secma Fun buggy. Seen outside a supermarket.
8.50 62F/16.7C. Returning from a brisk walk looping around the stubble fields. The wind was stronger than in recent days. Though it wasn't cold. Bright sunshine and quite a lot of traffic.
We enjoyed a walk around the farm museum where I was a volunteer. We met several of the volunteers still working there. The weather was perfect.
After that we drove on to my friend's place. Via the village bakery to collect three spandauer. A round flaky pastry cake with custard like cream in the centre. We sat outside in the warm sunshine to enjoy the cakes and coffee while we chatted with our host. Whom suggested the Faldsled marina cafe for a fish and chip lunch.
The fish proved to be kuller [haddock in batter] and the portions generous. As were the wasps. Our choice of ginger beer, rather than alcohol free beer proved to be a wasp magnet. We soon collected three drowned wasps in one, half full bottle. They were extremely persistent!
There followed another tour of a marina as we freely wandered the pontoons. Yet again there was no obvious security and very few boat owners present. I noticed a small feature, common to many boats, which temporarily eluded my resident boating expert. This required some later, Google searching for the correct term: Anchor chain locker drain covers.
Finally, I selected a wending, scenic route to return home. Where my sister launched into extreme garden repair mode. She had soon made serious inroads into the sad state of my late wife's flower bed.
The beautifully polished and detailed Morris Minor drew admiring glances throughout the day. The owner of a pretty, MG Cyberstar liked the Morris.
Having already eaten well we enjoyed cheese rolls and shared a bottle of alcohol free beer for dinner.
