The Man and I had a
sudden wakeup call at about one o'clock this morning. The footsteps
overhead sounded like a high healed prance across the floor in the
room above ours. Clippety clop clipety clop, backwards and forwards
several times before the occupants settled in for the night. Ah nice
and quiet. That was until 0500 this morning, when clippety clop up
and down up and down. My fertile imagination provided the wearer with
a bright red corset and fishnet stockings worn over long sinuous
legs. After breakfast we left our things with the very friendly
receptionist and went walkabout while waiting for my cousin to
arrive.. There are some very old and interesting half timbered houses
around.
We stayed here. |
Legs stretched we
returned to the hotel and enjoyed a coffee while wed waited for my
cousin to arrive. I scanned and photographed some of the pictures she
had brought with her yesterday. OK it might be doubling up on them,
but I'm a great believer in hedging your bets.
Pictures I've
scanned before have come out better than photographs, but I wasn't
prepared to risk just scanning.
I can recommend the
Rose and crown if you're ever looking for somewhere to stay in
colchester, excellent value and great atmosphere too.
In the afternoon my
cousin drove us out a little way into the country for lunch.Very
yummy. Roast beef so tender it melted in the mouth, if I could get
mine half as tender I'd be happy. Seems the trick is to sow cook it
overnight. No hope for me then.
We're on our way
back to London but will come back this way in February, hopefully by
then my cousin will have sorted through her pictures and found me
some more.
