Out and About

We have had a break in the weather, the winds have died down and although gloomy in part the sun did try to show its face a few times.  Consequently, a quick change of clothes and a phone call to my Mum and a day trip was on the agenda.  A shopping trip to Boston, which is a town and small port further inland.  It is steeped in history as it is the town from which the pilgrims back in 1607 left and travelled to New England USA on the Mayflower.  It also has a beautiful church St Botolph's known as the stump, with one of the highest towers in England.

It was a market day but not as busy as usual so I did get a basket full of fresh vegetables.

We did have a tour of the sales, looking for trousers for myself as I have lost so much weight since been ill and having surgery but came back with nothing.  I was not tempted by anything which is unusual for me.  We had a lovely lunch at Tates, a well know fish restaurant.  Mum and my husband had fish, chips and peas which looked lovely and I had prawns in a seafood sauce with a baked potato.  The prawns were a delight but the potato as you can see left a lot to be desired, I should have sent it back really.

There was even a group of musicians for entertainment, so not a bad day out at all and some lovely time spent with my Mum.

All too soon our little adventure was over and it was back to reality.  A warm stove and our new hobby a jigsaw puzzle.

 

Who would have though a jigsaw puzzle could provide so much fun and entertainment.  I must add jigsaws to my list when I have a stroll around the charity shops.  We have no real plans for the weekend, just pottering.  Have you any plans?

 

See you soon.
