Went to Chelmsford for our passport interviews. Had flavoured rooibos tea & cheesecake at Small Talk Tearoom to calm our nerves before we went in. Was yum. I don't normally eat sweet stuff when we're out - more a chips & olives person - but this hit the spot.

Afterwards we went to The Golden Fleece for cheesy chips, which went well with the Spooky Moon ale I had a pint of.

Then off to the cricket grounds to see Essex's bums being kicked by Yorkshire. First cricket game I attended in England. Will have to do it more.

Now I'm enjoying Beyerskloof Pinotage & watching C making pepper sauce for the steaks, which he will throw in a pan in due course.

"like fallin' rain
the days go by
can't kill the pain
and you wonder why
be strong
hold on
lotta love to go around
stay wild soul child
don't let 'em bring you down"
