At home: a full English Breakfast
Starting (from scratch!) our day right.Unbelievably, my month at Lilac Cottage is drawing to a close. Friend Fae joined me this week, and I’ve been showing her the local sights - it’s funny to notice my sense of pride, bordering on ownership.... I do get a kick out of arranging for friends to see and experience what I’ve found “the best” (beautiful, tasty, comfortable and enjoyable). Perhaps I should have been a tour guide or cruise director....
We have strolled around old town Norwich and - because Fae is such a people person and animal lover - had some fun encounters and conversations with polsters, buskers, church wardens and a Bobbie! The weather has been glorious (that may not last), making our paddle-wheeler boat trip on the Dure River in the Norfolk Broads even more enjoyable. We’ve dined al fresco as much as possible, soaking up the sun and atmosphere (and no few calories).
Now, with both regret at leaving and anticipation of adventures ahead, we turn our efforts to repacking (ugh!) and tidying up. It’s going to be tough to leave sweet little Miss Winifred - she’s been a delight to know, and a great lap-warmer.

Glad you still have some sunshine and warmth left there. Yesterday at the Island Cafe we had the most perfect weather. No more. Today at 68 totally grey. Tomorrow rain. Scratch Miss Winnie goodbye for me. And have a fabulous launch into the rest of your new world.
