Off to Lechlade
And Geoff and Michael. I got up really early to make sure I got to their place in time for lunch. Just as I was leaving the door at 8am the post arrived - and there was my passport! Sweet Alleluyah!!!
So I left feeling very good indeed. Got into Lechlade at 9:45 incredibly cold - gave Geoff a ring but it went to answering machine - I don't know where in Lechlade his cottage is. So I grabbed something to eat and eventually headed into the library to read while awaiting his reply.
The woman behind the counter made the obvious suggestion - why not look him up in the phonebook? So I did, and the cottage was just around the corner!!! I made it there at 11:15 or so and was greeted by the boys.
Got ready for lunch with John, the ambassador, Peter and Diane, the Paramount Pictures ex-MD, Jo and Jane, who both write gardening books for the BBC. The food was magnificent; capsicum entree, salmon main and 2 desserts!!
Adn the company was good too. Eventually, so full we almost exploded, we parted company but not before Peter and Diane had invited us all to see 'Amadeus' in their Home Cinema.
So we recovered a bit, had sandwiches for dinner with John (who I chatted with about math and he suggested someone who might be able to get me a job, or at least point me in the right direction) and headed over for the film at 8:30
The home cinema of PEter's is amazing - complete with ticket booth (manned by a dummy), double curtains and magnificent projector (like Bruce's, not one of these nancy ones, about 3x2 foot big). The xound was probably betyter than a good cinema - whcih was great for a movie like Amadeus!!!
We got home at 12 having had an excellent day!
