I visited the toilet in the new terminal and went with Pauline to buy a postcard and stamps for Tim. Jill arrived about 9.50am and we all went to the car.
The drive out to Chester was interesting. It was rainy (typical of course) but the scenery was lovely. It was also interesting to see the cars here - there are lots of Commodores, Barinas, and Vectras, but they're all Vauxhalls instead of Holdens. Saw a lovely old pub. Arrived at Brook House about 11.15am. The garden looks so lovely and there are cows in the paddock next door.
I had the grand tour and put my gear in my room - had a cup of tea and a shower. I packed some things away, then Pauline made us lunch - smoked salmon sandwiches, tomato, and brie/crackers. Derek opened a bottle of champagne and we had some + some red wine. By 2pm I was very ready for a sleep!
Woke up at 5pm with a cup of tea and sat down with this book. Watched the news about the fuel shortage (bummer!). Pauline cooked and served a lovely dinner of chicken in tomato sauce with fresh home-grown beans and potatoes, and berries and ice cream for dessert. Jill and I went to bed at about 9.30.
