Arrived in Uppingham late this afternoon for my two night stay at The Crown. Just finished a good steak, now waiting for the band to start up so not expecting an early night.
Before leaving I prepared some lunch which I was enjoying in my fav' spot of the garden when this tiniest of birds appeared and started drinking from the top level of the pond. Clearly a young goldcrest by the markings around the eyes. Chuffed to bits to see this let alone manage some photographs. It is a standing joke that my camera is welded to me. Glad it is on such occasions as this.
Above is the best part of my day. What I blog here is just recording what happened this morning. Will not blog on my response to officials.
For my sins I agreed to organise a walk and afternoon tea for a 15 number group of over 55 Whitley Folk.
After a meeting and subsequent phone call agreeing £5.50 for tea and a scone and arrangement of a mini bus to transport these folk I was informed this morning that sorry unable to honour the cost ax in effect you will be taking over the barge so my revised cost is £15 per head. Outrageous I said, can have a three course meal at that price....
