The quarantine period wasn’t too bad and whilst we stayed at my brothers, who was out of town, we took the opportunity to sort through some of our stuff that hadn’t quite managed to make it into storage. We decided that we’d keep to our early morning exercise routine, followed by a good walk, swapping coastal walks, for a walk through the forest and local park, which was both bracing but enjoyable. We carried out the quick release tests on Thursday and were released shortly thereafter. Thursday lunchtime I met some good friends for lunch in White Waltham. It was great to catch up and have a good laugh. Rach and I set sail at about midday on Friday up to Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, to look in on my parents. Rachel parents are 20 minutes further north in Peterborough, so we’ll spend most of the coming week flitting between both sets of parents. Saturday we had arranged to meet Seb & Ally in Stamford for lunch. Stamford is a really a pretty medieval town in Lincolnshire, famed more recently for its locational use in numerous period dramas. Perhaps less known is that it’s name was adopted by Stamford, Connecticut when it was founded in 1641. We arrived at a really cute little restaurant called “The Blonde Beet” where we spent the perfect afternoon catching up on all the things that we’d missed and just enjoying being in each other’s company. We dropped Ally & Seb off at the train station and after a long embrace they heading back up north. I then dropped Rach off at her parents and headed back to spend time with mine.
