That cathedral is a magnificent sight.I'm always amazed at the detail and the skills those workers had.
Read "The Pillars of the earth" by Ken Follet and you will be even more amazed.

We are in Stevenage, probably won't go to France. The energy tanks are just about empty.Might get to Herga

This is probably my last trip here, but sometimes I even surprise myself.

There is an open mike at The Hertford Club on Sundays, 6-9.
On warm evenings we have it out in the garden.

Hey Kendall.

The Chester Folk Festival is this weekend. Ildanach (the band I play in) are hosting a session on Sunday lunchtime. Probably a bit out of your way but if you're thinking of a run oop north it would be great to see you.

I just found this thread.

We're spending a quiet day - yesterday was overwhelming. I drove from Bradford on Avon to Stevenage abnd we then headed into London - train, underground, bus and then walking to Marx's Tomb in Highgate Cemetary. That was on top of the trip the day before - Newark to Stratford on Avon to Broughton on the Water to Marlborough to Bradford on Avon. The poor old car must be cringing every time we get near it.

We were meaning to spent a few days with my son and partner in west London but she is recovering from five weeks of daily radiotherapy and not really up for company for so long, so plans were changed at the last minute, meaning no chance to get to Maidenhead last night. I will be trying to get back there in December!

Tomorrow we do go to West London and get ready to fly back to Maine on Tuesday. We lose the car Sunday so that reduces our mobility and I don't think there will be a Herga on Monday, as it is a Bank Holiday.

We found a nice pub outside Stevenage; built in the 16th century, called George and Dragon. The Guinness was delicious and so was the chicken curry. I forgot that I don't care for curry.

And, NO musak!

Back on Tuesday... seems like such a short trip. Too bad you can't stay longer. Enjoy every minute... like I NEED to say that?

Three weeks without my bed, easy chair, remote and the antique Packard is enough. I feel like mowing the lawn.

"I forgot that I don't care for curry."

"They are threatening to 'Go for an Indian' tonight..."

Now, that just don't add up.

I ate that stuff once. Sorry, but I just can't handle it. Makes me queasy. Seriously. Ever since then, just the smell of it makes me queasy and flush.

I didn't care for Indian food until Jacqui's son and his mate took us out for it last year.
We just got back from there. I think I now know why England invaded India......the food.

We had a good meal in very good company - my granddaughter, it turns out, likes curry. We're back at my son's having a quiet evening. Tomorrow, maybe a boot sale, a visit from my daughter and, possible, a trip out in the afternoon, courtesy of Leadfingers.

The English weather is putting the kibosh on the festival, but we will hook up with Leadfingers anyway.
