Alresford

Phoned roof man Paul as he had not rung on Tuesday - said he had been very busy and would come Thursday unless rain. In fact it did rain so he put it off to Friday. Need front done before scaffolding comes down! Set off for Sandhurst and met Lou and Ciarán at Tri-lakes. He had an hour in play barn and loved the toy train and the animals. Nice picnic in the sunshine by the lake. I forgot a hat so caught the sun! Then drove to Alresford and the Bell Inn very nice indeed. ovely courtyard and comfortable rooms. Walked to playground and Ciarán enjoyed the slide and swings. I went to Alton to pick up Tom and listened to Prom on radio and used sat nav - turn at the rotary! Awful! Have now changed that to English man! A delicious dinner - cheese and watercress souffle , pork belly and strawberry meringue and port. Slept very well!
