The most glorious Sunday

We have been travelling all morning in the most perfect 'Indian Summer' weather. Dressed in t-shirts with the sun shining brightly we have tacked the first half of "Heartbreak Hill". Don't have the book in front of me but we must have come through 12 to 15 locks.

Arrived at the Broughton Arms just after 3.00 and decided to have a Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Here is John's picture -

Roast beef, a ginormous Yorkshire pudding, baby potatoes, roast potatoes, carrots, peas and mashed swedes. Being a pub we had to have a drink - Fosters beer for John and Stan, English Pale Ale for me.   Stan is opting out of the dessert, John is having sticky toffee pudding, I am having Bramley Apple Pie and custard.

More later (after a nap?)

  1. Mmm, you maybe need to chat to Nici about a healthy eating plan. Mind you, after all that energy expended, I'm sure you balanced your calories beautifully.
    Our lunch was at Somerbosch wine farm - also beautiful!
