Wednesday.

Early service this morning. Friends John and Margaret to lunch. John (a retired dealer- but dabbles) bought with him a fairly rare British N.C.O's sword, circa 1820 - 30, in a scabbard, which I purchased. Ann gave us roast pork with apple sauce, spiced red cabbage, potatoes and carrots, followed by pears in red wine and/or apple crumble, a cheese board and coffee. I opened a bottle of Neirsteiner, of which :- Ann declined, John stuck to one glass (driving), so Margaret and I finished it between us.

This afternoon (about 5p.m.), the temperature being 60 degrees, Ann and I went for a walk down Tinker's Lane, along the river bank, and back through the town. Above snapshot shows the river, part of Deanery Lodge gardens beyond, and St. Mary's Church. Must do some work now.
