    Today (6th) is a NSD, yesterday wasn't.

    I could have counted yesterday as a NSD because it was only suncream (ie medical) and food/drink but as I was out being sociable I am counting it.

    I went for a walk and ended up here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c628y5l1j66o
    A beautiful 11th century building but because it is a Sam Smith pub, no photos.
