Short entry #3

Posted on April 29, 2001 by Gary

Saw Bridget Jones’ Diary at the Aldershot cinema. Top marks for the movie, very few for the cinema. In fact, it was ghastly. Will stick to Guildford from now on.

Guildford

Posted on April 22, 2001 by Gary

Drove over to Guildford (Lady Mead) then walked along the Wey to Dapdune Wharf. A lovely spot with National Trust display boards. Weather not too bad (occasional sunny breaks) so all lovely and green. Went for a half an hour … Continue reading →

National Trust day

Posted on April 12, 2001 by Gary

Set off for Killerton, the home of the baronets of Acland. The park was closed because of foot and mouth but the house and garden were open. It’s not your normal stately home, more a gentleman’s country seat. All appeared … Continue reading →

Woke up feeling lots better. I’ve had a touch of the flu for the last few days and gone through a million tissues. This morning (after first good night’s sleep) feeling much better and coincides with beautiful blue skies. Mirinda … Continue reading →
