Sunday 16th February - Keri Keri Market day

Well I said I would not Blog for next few months however we did a day trip down to a nice town called Keri Keri which is about 40 miles South of here to visit the farmers market .
The sun was shining when we left and it stayed out most of the day and we arrived after a glorious drive up and down hills, via lakes and sea  and mountains until we arrived safely at around 10.20 gosh a bit early for us.
We wandered around the market and looked at the local produce which apart from vegetables also included Manuka Honey at an extortionate price, these must have been golden bees. There were local soaps and creams, sausages of all types,and trinkets galore.
Anyway after a good walk around when we agreed that the supermarket was about 30% cheaper and just as good we purchased a bratwurst in a baguette from the man with the BBQ and moved on.
We had some shopping to do but it was around 12.15 so we decided on an early lunch in a local cafe and an excellent toastie ham and cheese with tomato, best so far, and then on to New World for some shopping.
A few sirloin steaks and pork chops and a couple of wine bottles later we headed home with Jennifer driving this time.
A pleasant afternoon in the maisonette watching the kids on the beach and then we popped down to our hosts Brian and Sheila to meet a guest who is staying with them for a week and so a glass of wine later we headed back for our excellent ham salad dinner.
Great day!! still watching the water levels of the River Thames & River Wey back home. its like watching a dagger getting nearer then going away again and quite painful really.
