Whatever the weather



Today Joe and I went to lunch at the Miller and Carter restaurant in Sutton Park. I have written before about Sutton Park and it's seven wonderful lakes but it is my favourite place so it's understandable that I keep bragging. There are many photographs of this place somewhere on my computer but right now I can't locate them.

It was a nice day to start with but the clouds soon blotted out the sunlight. Although it was quite windy the yachts were out in force. I suppose that's why yachtsmen are labelled as hardy souls. My seating position in the restaurant enabled me to see everything that was going on and what fun (!) to see a couple of yachts capsizing and the methods of righting them in roughish water. There were experts on hand to help with the procedure but they hovered while the yacht people sorted it out for themselves.

Oh it's great fun eating out!

Saturday Special

I found this video of Sutton Park on YouTube. Forgive me for keeping on about it but it really is a hallmark place and I am proud to live so close to it. It has always been part of my life, I played and swam there as a kid, courted there as a teenager, shared with husband and child, and walked the dogs day in, day out.
