Hmmmm .... dreich weather.
21st
January 2018 (Sunday)
.... Hmmmmm ... we have “bleak Sussex” this morning; foggy and wetness .... a grand morning for staying ‘in’, drinking
tea! I’m looking forward to going to
Geoff and Pauline’s for Sunday lunch; this
is an absolutely perfect day for nice food and blethering. The weather is set to start improving later
on today, with warm air coming in from the Atlantic; tomorrow we could have ‘sunny spells’. ‘JB’ is off tomorrow and Tuesday, so we
might be able to
go for a run in the car, and have lunch somewhere.

| Geoff, Pauline and 'The Boy'. |
20.00 Geoff and Pauline live in Horam, a village
12 miles east of Uckfield. Unfortunately with the weather being as it was I
didn’t see much of the village, but it is on the edge of Ashdown Forest, and I
imagine it would be a bonnie place to wander round.
Pauline,
who is an excellent cook, had prepared a lamb roast for lunch, and it was ‘out
of this world’. This was followed by
a scrumptious trifle: “Puku”, bless his flabby six pack, is a contented puku
tonight. We spent a grand afternoon,
eating lovely food, and blethering; the
ideal way to spend a day like we’ve had in Sussex today. Pauline and Geoff are a lovely couple, and
work perfectly as a team in the kitchen.
When we left Horam the rain was lashing down, but, by the time we got to
Uckfield, we had driven (Janice was driving) out of the worst of it. This rain is clearing eastwards.... as was
forecast: it should be dry with the
chance of sunny spells tomorrow.
I’ve
had a lovely day today; the weather
might well have been cr ... er ... abominable, but we never noticed it; in fact I didn’t realize it had been raining,
as heavy as it was, until were going out to the car.
Nae
definite ‘plan’ for tomorrow, though as stated above, ‘JB’ and I might go out
if the weather is reasonable.
