What about when you are (were) on a cruise? Wednesday walk today. Looking forward to an amble and a ramble and a gossip with the group. Pub lunch after kalos is late on parade this morning, so here’s one I just found A man stopped me in the High Street yesterday and asked if I knew where he could get a wig I said not off the top of my head Have a good day. Enjoy the weather We look after the gardens ourselves thanks. It is currently 17°C and sunny with a high of 22°C expected later. Pauline gets her second Astrazeneca vaccine jab later today.

Pauline particularly likes gardening and we have a hedge trimmer which makes light work of shaping the conifers. Once a year a guy calls to cut and trim 25 large conifers in the back. They have blended into a hedge and are about 15 feet high and give us privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a radical move, we have transferred our fish and chip allegiance from Papa's to Steel's Corner House ! A very nice day for it, enjoy your day and hope you get to ride the lollipop train whilst your fish and chips settles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to like the Captain’s Table, but I suspect Papa’s did for it. Wife not keen on the ambience in Steel’s - reckons it’s too old fashioned, crowded and claustrophobic. Social distancing has probably changed that! Tesco frozen haddock fillets in breadcrumbs for the present. Excellent, but not the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced them with Boxus which are very slow growing and much less work. We still have a large sceen of about 25 Conifers at the back which gives us privacy. I still manage to trim them annually but it gets harder each year, will probably soon have to start getting someone in has I get older. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobstheboy Posted June 9, 2021 #22167 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Ignore above, fat fingers ! We sold ten years ago because garden was too large to manage. Pleased we did, our present one is a quarter of the size and that's getting hard to manage, age eh !! Another lovely day so it's on the patio, love this weather ! Stay safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted June 9, 2021 #22173 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Lovely day for our walk 12 walkers, 3 dogs Beautiful views and then, 10,000 steps later - The Pub (garden) A step up from yesterday’s fare crab linguine black pudding stuffed crispy pork loin Our 2021 holiday at home continues Just cheese & biscuits this evening but with the bonus of a T20 Blast cricket match on TV One has to take one’s pleasure where one can these days 🙂 We had a good chat on the walk. I’d say the group was divided 50/50 over sticking to the hoped-for dates in the lockdown roadmap and waiting for a few weeks to see how things go (that was the humans; the dogs had no opinion. They are enjoying their lives now, with lots of company and lots of walks) 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the one: https://papasfishandchips.com/ We’ve never been let down when we visit that area. Sometimes Cleethorpes, sometimes Willerby. Personal thing, though, fish and chips. We go there as much as anything for the restaurant setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
