The cruise from Horning to Stokesby on the warmest day so far, with daytime temperatures in the low 90's. With keeping the canopy top up and the sides down, we were thankful for the breeze.
Finding space at Stokesby, we ordered a poor lunch at The Ferry Inn and slept on board as soon as it was cool enough.
Today, I ordered Freda some flowers to be delivered in time for her birthday; her 55th,
We slept so soundly that it was around 8.20am that we were awoken from a deep sleep by Freda telephoning with more news of developments at Redgrave Stores where the baker's roundsman had also indicated an interest in taking over the shop.
