Tuesday

Good morning, all.  I've woken early (what a surprise!!) after a splendid night's sleep in a very comfortable and roomy bed in a room that is just right for temperature.  The kettle is on and there's no essentials on the list for today.  Once in a while, that is nice although I don't think I would like it all the time, do you?

The drive up was surprisingly easy.  Even the M11 and getting onto the A14 was a lot less hairy than I had anticipated and once on the A14, I was nearly here anyway.  On the way I located Wimpole Hall (tomorrow's little jolly) - couldn't miss it really - and Anglesea Abbey is also dead easy to get to from here today so all is well.  I gather the snowdrops are lovely at Anglesea right now and it's opening earlier than usual which means they are expecting plenty of visitors so I won't hang around too much after breakfast.

Dinner was delicious, all the nicer for not having to clear up afterwards.  I do love brie, bacon and cranberry and the chips were crunchy without and fluffy within - everything a self respecting chip should be.  Thankfully, there are no after-effects (yet), just that dull ache that I can live with if I have to.
It didn't stop me sleeping anyway!

Hopefully I will have some photos for tomorrow's entry.  In the meanwhile, I will enjoy my coffee and wish you a lovely day, whatever the weather.
