It was raining when I got downstairs this morning, that fine English drizzle type rain. Waited until the traffic would be quieter and headed for Saffron Walden for a few munzees. Drove down the same street 4 times as it has a one-way system. Some amazing old houses there though. From there headed to Thaxted. Sat around for a while and then found a free car-park and left the car there. The rain had stopped so had a nice little walk.

Arrived at Parrishes early and after 3 table changes, I saw Claire at the front door. She said she had a surprise for me, and she sure did. Claire had arranged for her mother, Lynn and her carer to come to lunch as well. We had a lovely lunch and chat, and Claire and I carried on chatting for a couple of hours after Lynn and Karen left.

Back at the farm again in time for the walk with Jess and Roxy, and then drinks and a chat with Cathy and Phillip.

After dinner Philip headed out to start drilling, he is planting mustard as cover for the pheasants, but he’s hoping for more rain.
