Having added many more pictures to my iPhotos in the last month I am starting to get a move on in my culling process.

Two days ago Becky, Flo, Dillon and Ian went on a shopping trip to Lymington, intending among other things to buy a coat at Mountain Warehouse, where they had been encouraging me to enquire about Nordic Walking Poles for myself. On their return I asked whether they had seen any of those aids in there. “No”, said our daughter, not exactly making eye contact. A few minutes later, after a parental disappearance, Ellie presented me with a lengthy wrapped parcel.
You know what was in it.
I tried them out walking around the garden this afternoon. They are very helpful.
This evening we all dined at the regenerated Royal Oak pub three doors away. The have been numerous ownerships and managers trying to make a go of the establishment in the ten years we have lived here. They only opened on the 6th of December, have settled in well, are friendly, efficient , and very reasonably priced. We all enjoyed our choices, mine being various types of game suet pudding, carrots, green beans, red cabbage, chips, and gravy, followed by a giant lemon curd Eton mess, and accompanied by a dark coloured draft bitter the name of which I have forgotten. We will visit again, at which time I will take a camera in preparation for featuring the establishment.
