This didn't take very long and after a quick cup of coffee off we went again. The Volockies had caught us up by now and gave us a very welcome hand to below nine. By now it was lunchtime, so I grabbed something to eat whilst Sheila steered, then swapped over.
We're just a shade short of meals to get us all the way home. Sheila has had to do the hard work on the locks as the wretched drugs make me feel exhausted after doing just one. She deserves a meal out, so we've come all the way on to Alvecote, latterly in light rain, the cunning plan being to eat in the Samuel Barlow tonight.

I will be interested to hear what you think of the Sam Barlow. It was one of our favourite haunts but I hear that the chef/owner has left so I wonder what it is like now.

Sorry to hear that the meds are knocking you out - must be so frustrating. Do they think that it's an effect that will settle as you get used to them?
Glad that you're keeping Sheila sweet with some good grub :-)

We had an interesting chat with our server last night. It seems Paul was never the owner, despite the impression he gave. It was and remains the property of Malcolm Burge, South Mids Water Transport, and he's put his son in to run it.
Same menu, food very good but don't have the man size steak unless you are seriously hungry. Still dog friendly. They've refurbed the kitchens and now serve evening meals upstairs. Downstairs they are doing breakfast and lunch from 11. Still closed on Mondays.
Sue: you know it's going to be bad when the consultant says "this drug will make you feel lousy". Diamox is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, so you develop mild acidosis and hypokalaemia. I just feel post viral a lot of the time.
Eating bananas, mangoes and avocados helps and is more fun than taking slow K. I just have hang on for as long as I can or until I get an op date.
All the best, both
Bruce
