Wednesday 9th June 2021

Decided to risk driving alone today so that Aki could have a day off and explore a bit of Norwich. I got off to an early start and made good progress, stopping off for a coffee in Mundesley on the north-east Norfolk coast. Glorious day! Had planned to find fish and chips somewhere Hunstanton way, but got through there a bit early, so delayed a lunch break. Then couldn't find anywhere until I got to a Costa drive through in Kings Lynn! Very late lunch. Drove back to Norwich via Dereham, Costessey, and Stoke Holy Cross. Had a couple of short sharp shocks to the left arm, but nothing untoward. Got back to the hotel around 1800 to find Aki back watching the tennis. She had visited the Sainsbury gallery, in a Norman Foster designed building on the University campus. She got treated to a one-to-one guided tour. Dinner at an old favourite of mine, Farmyard. We both had the stone bass, cooked in dill and vanilla, with asparagus, new potatoes with black garlic syrup, and cheesey leeks. We were suitably impressed. Made our escape before dessert became a temptation. Got back in time for more tennis before bedtime.
