HYPOTHERMIA TO HYPERTHERMIA

Hi,

Penultimate blog today. Last week in Crystal Palace the temperature rarely moved above 10 centigrade. Since then as we know it is in the mid-twenties and it is absolutely true that the English countryside looks so fantastic when the weather is decent.
I had a bit of a nostalgia trip last week visiting pubs and places near the old school.

Happy Days? Went to the Dulwich Woodhouse which some of you will recall and the Crown & Greyhound (aka The Dog) in the village. Not much changed except they both major on food but both stll serve real ale at bargain prices (not!). We had to buy some rice and went to the local store - £6.95 for 500g of Basmati. Londis up the hill charged under £3.
Anyway, we left on Monday for Thurston in Suffolk to see Pauline's younger sister Jane and nephew Troy, who I'm glad to say is a CPFC supporter.

Visited the local vineyard courtesy of Jane who ferried us around to sample and buy some wine and had some nice country walks. Some good topiary:

and because the weather is so fantastic we have decided to extend our trip for a few days and have arrived at Fakenham to take in some racing. Final blog next week.

Cheers
