    Another new farm shop has opened up near by so we went to check it out today. Got some nice meat and game.

    In more normal times it would be nice to have a proper look around the farm. There are barns and old cars scattered around everywhere. Would be nice to meat the animals as well before we eat them 😀

    The meat wasn't really expensive either. Think we will use this one on a regular basis.

    It will be a no spends day today. 

    Breakfast and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast is going to be a bbq breakfast and dinner tonight is slow cooked wagyu brisket with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roast parsnip, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli and green beans. 

    We are going to do the long walk that we did last Sunday again today. That will keep us occupied for a few hours.

    We love using local shops where we can. Even when out on the boat we try to find the local butchers and green grocers or markets. Something we will carry on when we get the van.

    Hope you had a good walk and are back in the warm with your feet up by now.

    Very crisp and impressive church. I bet the dog loved the walk.   I multi tasked this morning and facetimed my sister and brother in London whilst doing my usual walk.  Sunny in Cornwall and snow in London.

    It is quite plain as churches go but in a beautiful setting.
