Tuesday.

Set off at eight a.m. and motored to Bury St. Edmund's Where Ann had an eye test at the Hospital. Then ran the car round to our garage to have its first ever M.O.T. (three year test, Lori). Lunch at the Refectory. Back to garage. Car had passed M.o.T. with flying colours, so then had a job getting away from car salesman, who, of course wanted to sell us another car. Above photo is of the Norman Campanile at Bury St. Ed's.
On the way home stopped off at Monk's Eleigh Post Office/Shop to post granddaughter Lucy's birthday present. She'll be thirteen on Thursday. The village shop/Post Office closed about three years ago, so the villagers got together, rented a suitable building, funded it as a shop/P.O. and take turns to staff it. It's a great little shop, and well worth a visit. The two photoes below are of cottages in Monks Eleigh, and the one with the telephone kiosk is almost opposite the new P.O./shop. Got home about threeish, changed into me scruff, and have been working in the workshop (and forge) since then- with quick break for tea, then scrabble. Time for bed now, so - Goodnight All.
