General - Town and Country

Wednesday started with a tramp through the lashing rainfall within the fields of outer Loughborough.  I donned a good quality pair of rubber boots provided by my host for the occasion and felt like a proper country type sloshing through the cow doings and mud.  It really gave the new free mode within Trekker 3 a good test and I was pleased with the results as was the gentleman I was demoing too.

We then took a drive in to Loughborough town and toured the streets with Trekker and eventually when the wetness of outside had taken its measure on us we adjourned to a nice restaurant above a shop called  Wheelers  I had a lovely beef stilton and mash pie home made on the premises and washed it down with a dark Belgium ale.

I then took the train to Nottingham and met an old school friend who I hadn’t seen for years.  We did the dem and then went to a Nottingham brew pub called Fellows, Morton & Clayton The ale I had brewed on the premises was turned to vinegar but the Mallard bitter a hoppy golden stile as is the fashion at the moment was very nice, so good in fact we stayed until just before 8 in the evening and consumed a good few each along with some of the exceptional food at inexpensive prices.  This was proper gourmet  snap.

I got back to the travel tavern at 10ish last night and went to bed.  I wish all work days were like that!!    I am in the office at the moment about to start preparing a manual.
