A friend rang me up earlier to say that a steam engine will be coming up from Melksham through Chippenham up towards London at 8 this evening , he also said that there might be a cycle ride on Thursday and that a friend might need to borrow a cycle.

I had a walleye pike fried in batter made with Italian beer last night, fantastic. Fancy restaurant, with fabulous breads. Now, (7am) looking to lash it down, thunder and lightning, etc., and it appears to be the only weather going on in my bit of Illinois at the moment.

Nice!

We've been out and about all day, over to the Barnsdale Gardens near Oakham, the gardens created by the late Geoff Hamilton when he was presenting Gardeners World, and a morning wandering round the gardens.

The over to Melton Mowbray, the home of the pork pie, for lunch and a wander round the market and shops. I've driven more than a week's mileage in one day.

I'm looking forward to our trip tomorrow on a steam engine, it should be Clan Line a Merchant Navy Class of steam engine. I just watched the weather forecast to see what the weather will be like and it seems as we will both be arriving at Torbay at the same time, the bad weather and the steam train.
Oh well! I know where there is an interesting museum in Dartmouth, it's got lots of old model sailing ships upstairs and some enthusiastic peeps in there.
Now to pack my bucket and spade.
