Friday 4.

Closer view of the Barbican gateway.

Snapshot of Ann in an ancient alleyway.

Bit further along the same lane we were astonished to see a Forsythia in flower. Known them to flower in Febrary in a very mild spring, but in mid October......!

Been an eventful three days. Yesterday we'd parked the car opposite an auction house I used to frequent some years ago. Became aware that the head porter was waving wildly at us from the office window, and he then charged across to greet us, informed us that their 'Special' sale is on next week, presented us with a free catalogue, and invited us to view the sale on Friday morning (today) which we did, and eventually left several bids.





This morning at the 'Bed and Breakfast' farmhouse where we were the only guests, our hostess after breakfast, asked me if I'd have a look at a clock which hadn't been going for some years. The French clock (above) was way out of beat, but responded to treatment, and was going nicely, and striking the hour as we left. Thoroughly enjoyed our few days away, but it's good to be home. We've Sarah, Mikey, Lucy and Guy (and the dogs) coming for the weekend. Expecting them later this evening, and looking forward to it.
We wish you all a good weekend.
