Local country walk.

We’d a lot on today so decided to go for a walk after breakfast. We went down the back lane and along a country path - some fine views across fields, wild flowers so on. The honeysuckle in a tree was pretty.

A local appliance repair man came to fix the cooker grill. It so happened he’d the same cooker, that helped! Spare part on order. So job is carried over to next week.

In town we got some keys cut. We went for lunch to the Saint, quiet at this time of year. We’ve not been for a while. It’s still nice. Afterwards, we collected the sets of keys and I went to the library, whilst my wife went to the church in the Square which was open to the public today; it’s a splendid building. Few tourists too just now.

We subsequently had coffee in the Rectors’ Cafe and dodged a heavy shower of rain. It’s a favourite place of mine but only outwith the University academic year.

We learned first thing this morning of the death of our daughter-in-law’s grandmother. A dear old lady born in the Western Isles in 1930s; her funeral next week perhaps.
