Last Thursday we motored over to daughter Sarah's, stopping off along our way to have lunch with our friends Frank and Jenny. Above snap is of Jenny and Ann outside their (Frank and Jenny's that is) cottage. The other reason for our calling was to rerope their long case clock (by a Suffolk maker), which I did before lunch. After a delicious perfect summer lunch, which Jenny described as an 'ad hoc scratch lunch' (which covered five courses) I 'fixed' their wall clock, a single handed quaker clock which is about two hundred and fifty years old, and which had recently fallen from the wall, but is now good for another few decades. Then on to Sarah's. More in a min.

Long case clocks cannot be trusted and should be properly roped whenever ladies are present; far worse however, is the fallen Quaker wall-clock whose ways you may mend but which is unlikely to find redemption! (Depending upon the sum for which it was pawned!)
