Quiet day today

… so not a lot to say. We took a stroll round the marina in glorious winter sun this morning, Sheila wearing her new boots to start breaking them in, and went into the Willowtree Café for coffee/hot choc with marshmallow/toast afterwards. We'd no sooner sat down at a table to await the delivery of this feast when Steven and Maureen, whom we'd met on the walk on Thursday, came in.

They joined us and we had a very pleasant chat, complete with useful info about Derby, which metropolis we plan to visit next week

After a peaceful lunch and a bit of internet banking by Sheila (we're in the throes of changing current accounts), we visited Shiraz for tea. They'd been away until now, so it was good to catch up with them again. They've been taking winter moorings here for a few years, so again we were able to pick their brains about bus routes and the like.

We've just now returned to Sanity Again. I've put a piece of gammon on to boil, with all different veg in there with it; an easy winter tea. Once the meat has come out, I'll add some dried beans I've got soaking, so that tomorrow, we can have soup and cold meat, another easy tea; winter does have some advantages!
