It was such a perfect October day that I lowered the roof on the MX5 and drove across the Lincolnshire Wolds, kicking up leaves as I went, to Cleethorpes. I walked the foreshore for half and hour into the reed beds and then back again. I considered having a coffee break or even lunch out and then I realised I'd not had lunch at home this week so I fired up the MX5 and headed home.

He was an excellent guitarist however his voice didn't do justice to the songs and it was a little disappointing.

I was using the fire-pit for the first time and it was lit in plenty of time to make sure there wouldn't be a problem. It isn't as large as the old campfire that was in the drive at the old Pig Yard but we managed to cook sausages, burgers, bacon and beans in sufficient quantities along with baked potatoes from the oven to keep everyone happy. The whole evening was moved along with copious amounts of beer, wine and music.
