Well, it’s clear we’ve made some special friends.
Carol has laid out a great breakfast and the two of them have planned a pretty cool day. First off is a visit to the ‘New Hall Winery’ festival just down the road from Maldon. Fun scene: good wine, stilted men, belly dancers, jugglers, local oysters! Later we take a nice walking tour of Maldon – up High Street to the ‘Blue Boar’, a 14th century inn with angled walls & hunting trophies; past St. Mary’s church (Saxon, 1050?); by the All Saint’s Church (George Washington’s parents buried on the grounds); down to the waterfront with old rigged barges & the Queen’s Head Pub; and a romp through the woods & over fences to the Queen Victoria Pub!
Carol caps the day with a wonderful Thai Curry dish. Whew!!
