I slept reasonably well and enjoyed deep baths which was good. The room is a good size and comfortable.

I was on my way to Hobbycraft when it occurred to me that Rachel might be working from home. I phoned her, and she was, so walked down and spent an hour with her. The walked back and went to Hobbycraft before meeting up with Mike at about 11.30 am. I bought a patchwork book with lots of basic details about hand sewn patchwork. Mike and I had a trip to Notcutts and QD and then had a bit of lunch at Sainsbury's. There were some interesting statues at Notcutts,

and the water on the plants were attractive.

Then we visited Clare and Macey and then on to see Ruby and Emmie the two 94 year olds, who were both on good form. These teddy bears were knitted by Ruby, who is 95 next weekend!

Michelle is coming to the hotel to see me this evening so we can have a good natter.
