Oh, i love Alford! It's a lovely little town and Alford Manor House is a fascinating place to visit. Their cafe is excellent, too.
Been over the border into S. Yorkshire today... Passports and visas at the readyn I was going to order some IKEA flat-pack bookcases online but OH pronounced that it was a lovely day and it would save time and delivery charges if we went to the Sheffield branch to get them ourselves. About 2 hours of crawling traffic later, we arrived. Found what we wanted and were reminded how old and feeble we're getting, wrestling with those confounded cardboard boxes. I used to be able to deal with things like a small bookcase single handed. Now, it takes two of us, puffing and struggling to get one on to the trolley! Another 2 hours crawling home through the Friday afternoon traffic (what is it with the M18?) and we're too banjaxed to get the stuff out of the car! It can wait until tomorrow now! Just had an early dinner as we skipped lunch and am going to settle down with a good book and a mug of tea.
From all this, you'll understand that OH is feeling fine and bushy-tailed again. No sign of the drooping invalid from earlier in the week. Excellent!
Hope everyone else is ok and managed to enjoy the sunshine and that Madame D.Dog is suitably tired out from her activities.
