Monday.

Motored across to Wisbech today and met up with Ann's three brothers to finalise the details of their late mother's estate. The top photo shows them at Tim and Sue's house discussing details. From left to right they are Tim, Ann, Mick, Sue (Tim's wife) and David.

Small (but delightful) cottage in one of the grottiest backstreets in Wisbech, just off the old Horsefair. If you embiggen the small plaque between the two upper windows you will see the date of the building 1781. At that period even the smallest dwelling was beautifully proportioned (well generally speaking).

At 4.30 pm, by prior arrangement, we went and tea with cousin Sid. To be pedantic, Sid's late wife Mary was Ann's mother's cousin. He had put a superb tea on for us, enriched by a chocolate cake which Ann had made, and taken with us. Sid is a lovely intelligent old man. Last year, at the age of 93, he had his right leg amputated. We visited him in Brighton, where he'd had the operation, and was staying with his grandson. He's now returned home, been fitted with an artificial leg, and is trotting around quite happily on it, although he says it's a little uncomfortable at times. He is an example to all of us. Left at around six, and got home just before 8.

Took above photo of rural Suffolk (tautology, I'm afraid- most of Suffolk is rural) on the way home. We're about ready for bed now, so, as usual, Goodnight All.
