Thursday 17th August 2023

A slow start after yesterday's exhausting efforts. The weather had improved so we decided to take a drive out to Kirkharle for a walk around the grounds, and a nose about the gift shops. The cafe was busy. We circumnavigated Capability Brown's ox-bow lake, then returned to the farm buildings and had a wander round the shops. Kath found some items by people she's met at her craft fairs, and there was a bunch of Chilli Bizarre stuff, mainly rather pricey but colourful tea towels. Drove home for coffee and cake...there's a lot of cake! Spent the afternoon making tomato passata using tomatoes from the greenhouse, and some chocolate truffles for the freezer. We finished off the fish pie for dinner, and watched a bit of telly before shower and bed...
