Update on us.

22:46 hrs

It was a successful day all round thanks to Fair Damsel and good weather. It started with a quick trip to Intermarche by me; to get essential supplies and fuel for Sarah's car as we intended to visit Elliotts Boucherie (English Butchers) in the afternoon. When I returned, we ate a fried breakfast as we watched our favourite American talk shows.

We set off on the long drive to Elliotts at 14:00 hrs on the dot and the journey went smoothly. There was evidence of flooding in the lower areas along the way but we were well above it. We passed a large group of cyclists who were evidently in training for an upcoming event and I have to admit that I thought about going cycling at the weekend.

The staff at Elliotts were as friendly as before and I chatted to a very tall man who was stacking the shelves. He noticed me looking at Branston baked beans and asked if they tasted like Branston pickle. I told him that I wouldn't be buying them if they did! Meanwhile, Fair Damsel stocked up on pork pies, chicken & mushroom pies, sausage rolls, Shredded Wheat, mushy peas. strawberry jelly and assorted other items: I stocked up on Lincolnshire sausages, smoked bacon, and Branston baked beans.

We took a steady drive home (isn't home a wonderful word?) and Fair Damsel took a few photographs along the way. I have to admit that we were pretty tired by the time we settled down to a mug o' tea and a pork pie as we watched Stephen Colbert.

Dinner was later than usual with Fair Damsel enjoying a chicken & mushroom pie with steamed potatoes whilst I tucked into a sausage roll, steamed potatoes and baked beans.😋

All's well in our world,Sunbeams.🙂☄️🌻🌞
