frannie found us at chesterfield and we went to the pub close to the spire then headed off to organise simons banking before heading home to do the washing and venture up to the allotment for another broadbean picking
that night we headed off to a thai restaurant with paul and carol at a local pub - its amazing what the local pubs have converted into - the food was wonderful but the chilli caused me a wakeful night - think it was worth it
wednesday saw us in rain and venturing to the nettle for lunch - it had been cut off from its electricity as some one was cutting trees locally and decided it was safer to stop electricity to the local village - luckily the nettle cooks with gas
that night we went and visited gill and peter with claire and alex. we had a nice home cooked meal- ian was good and offered to drive so the builder was able to drink - i was lucky and uninsured for the whole trip so was unable to offer my services to the driving roster meaning that i was able to indulge whenever we went out feasting
our last day - said goodbye to jim at about 7 am and started to pack - ian is coming back in about 3 weeks
we weighed in at about 38 and 35kg - its amazing the amount of junk and camels we have picked up and this is prior to getting to abu dhabi
lunchtime was devoted to visiting freyja in sheffield for a final lunch - she has found a nice italian sandwich cafe about 10 mins walk from her place ian enjoyed his cofffee and frannie avoided eating hazelnuts which she thought were chickpeas but ian recognised as nuts!
then back home to wait the arrival of the limo
