We had a very pleasant visit to Bridport this morning. Have only been once before and that was just to Morrisons and Palmers brewery for a tour.

Enjoyed sitting overlooking where the rowing boats are hired sharing a large portion of freshly cooked chips. Haven't done that for a few years, wonderful.

Will definately be returning for a more in depth scout round

They also have a museum where rope was made for the seafarers of old, it was made in a very long single length

[Stephen]

It was nice to see sensible parking charges and not the rip off prices you normally get. Mind you £3.60 for a large portion of chips makes up for it , but worth it

[Manoverboard]

A small portion would have been cheaper ... and more healthy of course :oink:

S*d being healthy, I'm on holiday

[Manoverboard]

I do declare that I am about to be promoted to ' Captain ' Plod .... no need to salute

[Stephen]

Sh*t, not another one. The rum will only stretch so far you know. Mind you, there is the initiation ceremony to go through for new Captains.

Not a pretty sight

[Manoverboard]

Indeed so and D63 has just posted the bottle of Pulteney that I have to drink by the end of 2020.

[Stephen]

It should arrive by tomorrow. What time shall I call round

[Manoverboard]

Midnight would be best ... we should be fast asleep by then

[Stephen]

Can you leave the door on the latch so I don't cut myself on the glass. Thanks

[Mervyn and Trish]

I bet it'll arrive before Keefy's chocolates

[Stephen]

We came home yesterday so Moby can now sleep easy........for now

[Manoverboard]

Ah, we can unscrew the extra bolts now ... phew

You been having problems with your neck

[Happydays]

We've arrived at our holiday cottage, first impression is good

[Stephen]

Think I'd have stayed at home

[Manoverboard]

It'll be as warm as toast once they get the doors, windows and roof fixed .....

[Happydays]

Ha ha, it's a nice stone cottage with roof intact and central heating. Very near the beach

[Stephen]

Where about are you. Still up in freezing Jock land or have you ventured down to the southern tropics.

[Happydays]

Even further into Jock land Nairn, but I'm sure I will survive

[Stephen]

Currently 23 here with real feel of 25deg

[Manoverboard]

Having just eaten a plate of Paella and half a bottle of Rioja it's nearer 27 here ... hic

[Stephen]

I can recommend a very nice red for you to try Moby.
I don't normally drink Californian red wine but we had a bottle left at our holiday rental for us. And very nice it was too. It's called 'Crows Landing' and was a 2018 PETITE SIRAH. Tricky to obtain but worth it if you can get it. I have seen Ocado sell it.

[Manoverboard]

P&O used to sell a Californian Red which was based on a heady Italian grape, yours sounds ' lighter ' but worth a try
