We cycled to visit Heather’s parents, Dave and Margaret and again had someone stop to chat to us about the tandem on the way. It was a lovely sunny day and we had a fine afternoon of reminiscence of canal adventures, fishing stories and past holidays with tea and biscuits in their garden. It was great to see them and it was no surprise that we did not leave empty handed. Any meeting with them in the past would include some garden produce. He was saying they had no beans this year with the lack of rain but the trees were producing. Thanks to Heather for introducing us to your fun parents, in the past. We were very pleased to fit that in unexpectedly into today. They had their COVID boosters this morning so may not be up to visitors tomorrow, so glad we seized the day….many canal boats are called Carpe Diem and Shane always say “Seize the Carp” Sounds like something Dave would have done in his fishing days! We were able to carry the fruit home safely wrapped and nestled in our jumpers in the back rack.
