Friends and Relations

On Monday, Cliff Lightfoot came to the cottage for coffee in the morning. It was good to get caught up on everything and to encourage him and Joan to come to Seattle again very soon.

After Cliff went, we drove to Whitby to meet Ron for lunch. We parked the car (no mean feat in this popular North Sea town) and arrived at the Marine Café in pretty good time. Ron was behind us a bit. It was raining cats and dogs! We were finally all together and, over a good bottle of wine and excellent fish and chips (with the best mushy peas ever!) We had a great two-hour conversation.

After lunch we headed to the Co-op for some grocery shopping. Then to Yorkshire Trading Company (hardware store, or ironmonger, depending on your location) to get an airing rack for clothes. (We had mentioned to Ron that laundry was next on our list, and he mentioned that the dryer didn’t work, and the drying/airing rack was no longer.) We headed home with our purchases and settled in to do laundry and watch the next episode of the new Doc Martin series. You won’t believe what’s happening with Mrs. Tishell!
