Yesterday was spent driving south to St Michaels, Maryland, and after a fine Italian lunch and shopping, cycling around the township and seaside. Perfect day!

Today it was a neighbourhood reconnoitre day – wandering around Kennett Square after a leisurely breakfast and walking of the dogs. I managed to successfully use the selfie stick given for my birthday.

And upon return we set into making cornish pasties the way Grandma made them. I’m happy to say, I think we did her proud. They were eaten with alacrity after sipping drinks out on the porch.
