Made the Most of The Sun ...
Friday, July 12th, 2024 01:39 pmYesterday it was pretty nice, and so spent some time in the garden reading, before walking into the city to meet Tim & Claire for a meal. We meet at a Wetherspoons which is a converted Chapel, and usually eat upstaires in the gallery, where we can see the pulpit with the lovely stained glass window behind it. I do have mixed feelings about using a Church as a pub, but there again, the building is being used, and hopefully people will actually look at the "Church" and remember it's first use.
This pub is the former George’s Meeting and is ‘listed’ as having special interest as an unaltered 18th-century chapel. It was built as a Unitarian chapel in 1760 and named after King George III, who came to the throne the same year. George’s Meeting closed as a chapel in 1983 ... is the information off their web site. Will admit I hadn't realised it was eighteenth century.
Anyway ... we made the most of it as we actually had our meal outside in the sunshine.
We also commented how nice it was to actually walk home while still sunny ... and especially while dry.
And, all in all it was a good thing we did as today is overcast again.
Still, as well as enjoying the sunshine it was a lovely relaxed evening ... catching up with them. They are still planning their 35th anniversary party for next year ... so add that to the news about their holiday there was lots to talk about.
A nice evening out, in great company ... and a lovely meal added to it. What more could I want!
Now it's Friday ... and yes in the end I managed an early-ish night last night, and really have pottering things I want to do today.
I have to walk out a bit later to post a letter - as I now technically own the grave site of Grandma, Granddad and Auntie Joyce I have to confirm the new wording on the stone. They had suggested something earlier, but the 3 of us changed the wording so that it fit in more with the rest of the wording on the stone, as well as with Auntie Joyce herself.
Well, that looks like it will be the highlight of the day ... so will post today's question, and get this up
12. Josiah Wedgwood was born today in 1730 - have you ever owned any Wedgwood items?
When I first qualified, back in 1983, I worked 2 days a week, for 2 years, for the person who had been the principal of the college I went to. When I left he gave me a pair of candlesticks
Then when I moved from Essex to the West Country one of my patients, who I had known all my life, gave me a ring. I had never charged her anywhere near full price, so she gave me the gift.
Right, now I really do need to get something to eat
Hope you are all well ... catch up later x
