Good morning from a bright, but chilly start in Torbay. (again!) Thank you to yesterday’s GM folk for some super photos especially the thatch-sculpted cats.
Gosh, Mick, I bet you have some interesting tales to relate about your cycling days! No wonder you enjoy watching it so much!
Yesterday, I caught the bus into Torquay, arriving in good time to choose the most suitable position to take photos of the funeral cortège. As mentioned yesterday morning, this was in honour of a 97 year old magician/mind reader and theatrical agent, whose daughter I know as she runs my dance/exercise class. She found time to speak to everyone outside the church and, ever the performer, appeared as radiant as always, despite the inner sadness she was feeling. Once the permitted number had entered the church, I chatted to one of the grooms who told me that they are hired by funeral directors throughput the S.W. when required. He told me a lot about the horses, which are magnificent Friesian stallions.
Afterwards, I finally got round to choosing a new phone, for which DH, olddudders, gave me the money for Christmas! He is fine, although not a regular contributor on this site, preferring to log on elsewhere to sites related to his hobbies: model railways, photography and motor racing. I usually update him on GN news during our daily Zoom calls.
An early start beckons to shop in Lidl. Exciting! I hope that those in distress find comfort, especially Cherry with her problem neighbour, and that those with plans find that they come to fruition. ?
