We walked Ellie across the fields in the rain.
I then went into Birchington to get some meat. They have started doing chorizo wrapped in chicken breast and bacon. I asked the new face in the butchers how long they had been doing it as we bought something similar in Hythe last week. “Only since yesterday “. He then told me the whole story. He is new at the butchers but used to be a Manager at Rooks, which is another Kentish chain of butchers that have all closed down. The ex managers “Invent” new items to sell and have continued to do so in their new positions. The Manager in Hythe was also an ex Rooks manager! Next week he is going to make chicken breast with bacon, brie and cranberry, sounds good! Something different.
I then walked a few doors down and went into the Cancer Research charity shop as Jack is now Manager there. In my opinion he wasn’t really appreciated at Demelza. We had a very long chat and it so happens that he is working on his own on Mondays, so of course I volunteered! It will be nice working together again. Of course I have to complete and application form.
Meanwhile Mal was at the allotment and we have our first bunch of grapes ! The bunches that weren’t netted have all been eaten by the birds.
