A Return to Old Haunts

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind, beginning with the canal trip.

We are making progress on the new book, whilst learning lots of lessons about using AI to aid with the editorial side. I'm fortunate to be using some tools that aren't yet available to most companies, and the difference is incredible.

Anyway, I really wanted a quiet weekend, but our diary was already full. Still, it turned out to be interesting.

Friday evening, we went with old friends Nick and Eva  to a nearby restaurant with a growing reputation to try their new tasting menu. It was stunning.



I was brought down to earth on Saturday by the arrival of the children and 2 8/9ths grandchildren, but Nick, Paul and I escaped for a boys day out.

First stop was Foxfield for their traction engine and beer rally.

Foxfield is compact, but quirky and fun. As always in this area, the volunteers are great.







We had to ride on the miniature railway, not least because Teddy is still in the loco shed.





Then we headed off to Rudyard, to meet up with Adam for a behind-the-scenes tour of their engine shed. I don't feel I can share the majority of the photos, or our discussions about future plans, but watch this space. It is exciting.







We finished the day with a Chinese takeaway. Nick, bless him, needed a rest, but Paul and I came up with a plan for Sunday...
