Mike arrived just after 9 am, he had a reasonable journey but a few hold ups on the way. Tina joined us when we went for breakfast. Mike had fetched my case and the amazing amount of things he has made for the bazaar were in there, I will have a great stall! We watch part of the pilot show of Lewis and then went off to the Mere to feed the birds. I had cut up some spare bread earlier.

We had a short walk by the lake, but it was a grey day and then it started to rain. But the misty views were lovely anyway.

Took this one of the swans who came out of the water to see what food was on offer!

After that we had a break at Dean's garden centre, and then Mike thought it would be good to visit Snainton as we were only a few miles away. A very interesting place and plenty of pen supplies for Mike. I bought a great tape measure which looks a bit like a bell, will photograph it for tomorrow's entry. Then off to Sainsbury's for food and some shopping and home to watch the rest of the Lewis episode. We plan to go to Whitby on the bus tomorrow.
