No breakfast, just a cookie and coffee… we have a noon reservation at the Waterfront Cafe so no big breakfast today.
Lots of sightseeing today. Out of the house around 10:30am, off to the Plymouth Steps (where the Mayflower left from headed to the New England), which turns out right around the corner from the Plymouth Gin Distillery (which we were too early for, but we did tour the gift shop and I got a hat pin), then a more bits of scenic driving and walking before lunch.
Great lunch. 71 pounds, but that included enough food for four (even though we were three) and two bottles of wine. Mussels and three kinds of fish for me, Lobster Bisque and three kinds of fish for Mark, Mussels and the Lobster Salad for Jill. An Australian Chardonnay Semillon was the wine.
After lunch it was off to the passenger ferry to get to Cornwall and a lovely park. A grand old house on the hill, and lots of plantings. I declined the further incline up the hill to see the chlamydias and hung about taking pictures of flowers and settling on a bench with a stunning view and read the New Yorker for a bit. Lovely place, Plymouth, must return.
Dinner tonight is just grazing from the fridge, cleaning up the leftovers from last night. More wine of course. Early night for all of us (a change from midnight last night) since he has to work, and we have to drive to the airport — maybe with a stop at Stonehenge since we saw it on the way down, at 70 miles an hour.
