Today was dull with occasional rain showers. Jamie and Sim were determined to get at least one more rambling session in. Hazel and Neil were off to Morecambe which will forever be called Moricambi. The explanation is that one boy Neil taught came from a less well off family and didn’t get to go on the exotic holidays the others in his class got. However, the boy’s dad told the son to just say they were going to Moricambi and nobody would know that he was instead going to Morecambe! I hope I got the story correct, Neil.
While some were climbing hills and others were facing the weather in Moricambi, we went for a walk around the village and that meant a going into the church. The first time Neil and I went in to the church last Sunday, we both commented that it ‘smelled’ like a church and it did again today. Scamp was impressed with the ‘tap your card’ to make a donation. It’s a great idea.
We crossed a dried up stream on our way back to the village and that’s where Scamp noticed the Rams’ heads on the bridge railings. They were all hand made, probably by a blacksmith. I’d crossed the bridge before and hadn’t noticed them! Such skill to make something like that by hand.
Since it was Thursday, some chocolate for everyone except me. Some traditions need keeping.
Jamie and Simonne were on dinner duty tonight with Beetroot Falafels and Black Bean Patties which involved a lot of preparation by both parties. Dessert was Freddo Frog chocolate.
PoD was one of the Ram’s heads.
Memories:
- The smell of an old church
- The rams’ heads
- Moricambi
- Fred Frog chocolates
No plans as yet for Friday.
