We are in a small village called Thatchum and by pure coincidence, Lukasz, Les's nephew and friend Peter live one mile from us. We got together at a pub called THE CASTLE tonight - we have decided that they will come with us to London this weekend - they have been there 4 times before but to work and not to sightsee.
Thatchum is lovely. The area we are in is older and greener with huge trees. We ate lunch at another pub today which just won an award as the best of Britain for food - service - innovation ... I had salmon with scampi white sauce ...muito gostoso !!!! In the afternoon we walked about a little - we are trying to walk more, we do not want to gain any more weight. Les is complaining of feeling tight chested and breathless ... but try telling him to lay low with the pints !!
This is Arthur's sister Linda's house and the house behind them has been vacant for 2 years - it has 4 acres - and it belongs to a man who is now 94 and in a nursing home right in this area ... huge house huge garden ... wouldn't I love to live there !! the garden here is gorgeous gorgeous.
Ed is Linda's son and he buys new porsches and other makes, fixes them up and resells at a hefty profit. He is a happy go lucky kind a guy and his girlfriend Kate is super as well. She has an very intersting job as a food creator for a company that sells to Trader Joes and other specialty markets in the States and locally. She has promised to bring some samples and tomorrow we taste her famous lemon curd jam ... she also has a mango sauce but it comes in a huge tub .... my mouth waters just to think of it ... Linda and Malcolm and Ed and Kate ... great folk
until tomorrow mates ~ cheerio
