Building of the day - Swan Hill
It has been blowing a gale all day with high winds but not much rain. Temperatures have been fairly high. We had a reservation for lunch at the carvery at the Coach and Horses. We have found this to be good and were not disappointed. There was a choice of roast beef, lamb, turkey or chicken. Mary had the lamb while I had the turkey. We could help ourselves to several vegetables as well as new potatoes and roast potatoes, stuffing, chipolatas, cauliflower cheese. The roast [otatoes were as good as they get with a thick crunchy exterior and soft inside. It took a little while to mine through the vegetables to the meat on the plates. With a glass of sauvignon blanc and a Salopian Shropshire Gold this was a great way to take our minds off the weather.

| Sign in the lobby. I didn't bother to ask about the joke. It goes like this: Drunken customer at the bar: "Would you call me a taxi?" Barman: "You're a taxi." |
On this hilarious note we laughed our way down to the river and crossed into Coleham before returning over the English Bridge. A check in Marks and Spencer revealed the secret location to where they had moved the Battenberg cake.
