A nice day out.

G visited the dentist this morning to have a big job on a molar.
Whilst he was "in the chair", I walked into warwick & pottered around, finding a new designer red murano glass pendant, perfect for aj, to match her new holiday dress.
Brill.
G & I had a potter then went to Stratford to the Bigwood's auction rooms to collect the lot that hadn't sold, last Friday - Sylvac planter, leaf vase & beetroot pot, 5 Wedgwood leaf plates & 11 large soup plates, 2 tureens & platters from Grannie's service.
I'm glad they didn't sell as they're all really nice - now open to offers.
We had a cup of coffee & a walk around Stratford, which was busy with tourists, then on to Bromsgrove to collect bits for the poorly lotus.
We went via Hanbury Hall, a NT property, quite like Blyth Hall, with beautiful gardens, where we had a light lunch, sitting in the sunshine, between showers.
We went on to Alcester & had a walk around - a really pretty little old town, with beautiful buildings. then to Bromsgrove, Knowle, to see the new auction house, then home via Meriden, to buy a lottery ticket.
On my travels I bought a yaho crystal plate & a Carlton ware owl money box, both of which we've found on E-bay for 20/30 times cost.
Brill, brill.

We had a healthy chicken stir fry for dinner & we're watching TV - Who do you think you are, before bed.
A good day in all

So in conclusion, we pottered around various places and didn't really do much.
Followed by a meal.

Well done on the David Dickinson work, are you going to turn orange now? (ask Ben if you don't understand)

Yes & yes.
I do understand, I am retired not retarded! (not pc - don't quote me)
DD is an ex con, perhaps the colour was a sort of tag.

I must admit to being rather white, below the waist - trousers too often.
