which one did you get it from kalos 

 

we always used to go to zacs as kids

The SEA FISH at Conisbrough ,we don't mind a bit of a travel if they are good.

Eating in is good as well you get a nice view of the castle. Which the novel Ivanhoe was based on .

Nearer to home we like the Wickersley chippie.

If you eat in on Monday - Wednesday you can have Rishi's chips. I bet you haddock had a meal there yet.🐬

bit too far for me to try that one now. Still haven’t found a decent chippy near us either. Do tend to prefer Chinese though

We are looking at Warner for a December break as we won't be going on Aurora... 

Just cautious as not sure how restricting it is likely to be. 

Cricket St Thomas or Holme Lacy?

I love Cricket St Thomas but I don't think it has the wildlife park any more. Doesn't matter really as it's too far for us to travel these days. We will probably go to Nidd Hall.

We were there for a couple of nights about the same time as you. It all had an atmosphere a bit like the lull before the storm. Maybe go towards the end of the year. Maybe.

Yes, it was definitely a heightened atmosphere.  
 

We went to Sinah Warren a couple of years ago. I like it at Warner’s, as it’s a little bit like a cruise, what with the entertainment programme. 
 

Going forward, I think we will be doing more short U.K. breaks. We aren’t making any bookings just yet, just waiting to see what happens next.

Lovely part of the country though. And plenty of places within easy reach of Ilminster.

When they kick you out on the day of departure, not too far to divert down to Dorset on the way home.

Evening all. Dreading the exceptional heat due tomorrow here. My son's old bedroom that I use as my office faces South, it’s ok in the mornings but on Fridays I work 1-6pm, I’m dreading it! Why are the really hot days on Friday??

Hee hee, we have just cancelled our trip to Scotland as well.  Just decided it wasn't necessary and the hotels are giving breakfast in paper bags, so that was not what I had in mind.

How do they get 2 eggs,bacon,square saus,black pud,toms and beans in a paper bag.

Not here 😕 At the moment it's overcast,  damp and cool.

With great difficulty, especially if you want cereals and toast and marmalade.

Blue skies and sunshine here but I’m dreading the heat. I love sun and warmth but over 28 degrees in this country is awful! All cool in my house at the moment, might just stay inside so I don’t get too hot when I start my shift at 1pm. At least working from home I can wear my shorts!

There was a time I loved the heat, but as I've become older, no longer. 19/20° max and a light breeze is perfect now for me. That's why we cruise no earlier than October.

Well you sure won't cruise before October this year.🚢

[Eddie99]

It’s a hot one!  Early walk today, methinks, then continue watching England’s (thus far) miserable progress in the cricket

but

 

tonight

 

(well, 5pm)

 

we’re eating out, almost normally, at Zizzi.  🥳
Not something I would normally go overboard about, not my favourite chain eaterie but our local one has a terrace, so fits our new-normal criteria.  
 

We last ate out in the evening in the second week of March, 5 months ago.  How I’ve missed it; it had become a regular small indulgence.  We must grab the opportunity whilst it’s there - won’t be able to eat outside if it’s pouring rain or minus 5C

 

Hope everyone finds a small delight in their day

Nope, but October 2021 is booked. You never know😜.

Well it's warm and manic here in the office.  Salcombe hit the BBC news last evening and it wasn't pretty 😞

[jeanlyon]

You couldn't really write this.  Large 18m motor boat enters the harbour and telephones the office to ask where to moor.  Unable to use the radio as doesn't know how!!  Also, didn't understand that they needed fenders to hang on the sides?!!  Dear God, this boat would have cost hundreds of thousands.  I give up!  Didn't understand the word starboard.

Apologies, Jean.  Saw all the reports about Salcombe, had some lockdown money saved up, hired the boat for the weekend, just dropping in for a coffee.

 

On the way to Rock next.........😁
