It was a beautiful Spring like day - just ignore the fact that it was only 5 degrees and the clear blue skies provided a sun which failed to project any warmth!
We took our new neighbour Zel with us on another tour of the nearby market towns. Zel is an IT Teacher from New Zealand on a 6 months contract.
We drove to Spalding and wandered around the market place, which was fairly ordinary but SWMBO managed to find some things to buy. Had a look at the parish church which is part 12th century and, like many of the churches here, contains quite a lot of history of past parishioners and patrons.
We took off for Stamford to seek somewhere for lunch and passed a 17th Centruy pub (pictures above) 17th century and very quaint so we pulled in and had an excellent meal and a decent pint of London Pride. I have developed a real liking for English Beer and much prefer it to Fosters!
We had been to Stamford before. It is one of the prettiest market towns with a river winding through the town.
On Sunday I decided to put the car through the car wash but when I had paid my 3 quid for the pleasure I found that the wash was frozen and had to get a refund.Went back a couple of hours later but it was still the same so came home and handwashed the bloody thing with a bucket as we don't have an outside tap or hose. Looks good though!
