Driving with Daisy

Lovely meal on my retirement day, jointly celebrated Tracey’s Mum’s 80th Birthday at Morley Hayes. First night stopover at Tewksbury, wet and windy! Had a wander round the town, and down to Abbey Mill where we did some work at Balfours for the EA probably 20 ish years ago, all still standing, brought back some memories! Called for a beer at Nottingham Inn, local alcoholics too loud for us old farts, much better at Bell Hotel near the site. Bracing ourselves for a windy night and journey to Bristol tomorrow.
