As the week has gone on I’ve slept better. Either it’s
all a bit much for me or the beer is taking its toll. The dogs are finding it a
bit much too. Earlier in the week when I got up they would all leap up ready to
go bothering everyone else, but today they were all-in and frankly sparko at
seven o’clock this morning.
We spent a few minutes watching the birds in the garden.
There’s certainly more than we’ve got back home.
Karl and Tracey were soon up, and we had brekkie, then
went for a little walk. The weather forecast was against up, but no matter what
happened the weather couldn’t be any worse than it had been yesterday, could
it? (at the risk of giving spoilers, the answer was “yes”)
We drove out to nearby Lawshall where we walked a
wonderful series of geocaches. A lovely walk, really well-thought-out caches.
Tricky puzzles to solve in the field. Finding the thing was easy enough, but
getting the log out to sign it wasn’t easy. It would have been one of the best geo-days
ever if not for the rain.
But unlike yesterday my pants stayed dry, so that was
a result.
We came back to base for a sausage roll and a scotch egg
and a pint (three), and then it was declared that this was just the
starter.
We then drove out for a late lunch. Having had a
rather good dinner there a couple of days ago we went to the Rushbrooke
Arms again. I see one or two people have been critical of the place on Google
and Tripadvisor. All I can say was that we had a very good bit of dinner again.
More Bang Bang Cauliflower, and this time I went for the steak and ale pie. The
dogs all got scraps… perhaps they’ve been getting too much this week? Bailey
wouldn’t take a chip, but would lick the gravy off of it.
We retreated back to base, where we perused the geo-map,
then had even more scoff and even more beer whilst playing “Trouble”.
The house seems a lot quieter without Jess and Charlotte.
I
took a few photos today.
