Sunday...
Petersfield, David wanted to re enact a bus route he used to do while working for the Aldershot and District so we followed along with him saying… this is a new road, that pub has changed and so on, stopping at the Devils Punchbowl where we used to come quite often for walks with visiting friends and the children… it was bitterly cold today and as we were heading back to the car Briony rang to thank us for her Christmas present that she had to open early as she and Joon are about to head off to China and Korea, she was in tears because she liked the present I left for her so much… Aaaaaaahh!
Devils Punchbowl.
Trying out the Kissing Gate.
Lunching at the Gamekeepers Arms near Dumpford we shared the Gamekeepers Pie because it was enormous and filled with Pheasant, Partridge, Wild Duck and Venison… Yummo!
Drove through Petworth looking for the Angel Hotel which used to belong to our friend Merv Church, both Nerys and Tomos worked for Merv when they were on their working holidays in the UK, we couldn’t find it and hurried home because I don’t like driving along unknown narrow winding roads in the dark and wet. We remember going to a Harpsichord Recital in the Grinley Gibbons Room at Petworth House when we lived at Henfield 37 years ago, it was a most delightful evening not only listening to the music but also watching the deer coming to drink at the lake at dusk.

Popped into Artington House on our way home to take 'now' photos. This is the Guildford Register Office where David and I were married in June 1968, it’s also where Nerys and Tim were married in 1995 so we took photos of where our wedding photo was taken as well as where Nerys and Tim’s wedding photo was taken.
This is where our wedding photo was taken 37 years ago
Pretending to be Nerys and Tim...
Sunday Evening I cooked a Salmon Dinner with fresh fruit salad to follow and was fascinated by the origin of the foods….
Salmon… Norway
Potatoes… UK
Broccoli… UK
Creamed Corn… USA
Pineapple… Ivory Coast
Mango… Israel
Bananas… Jamaica
Raspberries… Portugal
