Today has been another very relaxed day starting with a lovely lie-in and a slow start. In the afternoon mum and I went to an Antiques Fair in Kettering and had a good look at what was, mostly, tat although there were some beautiful clocks on display but they were way out of our price range. We ended up taking home a beautiful meat platter from around 1900 for £7 (me) and a gorgeous huge Victorian bowl which should have had a jug with it for £10 (mum). Mum collects a china range called Mason and we did see three pieces (I was tempted by a cream jug) but she resisted as the plates she saw were a different style to the one she collects.
I popped into their house for a quick drink and then, after an hour at home, the four of us went to The Green Man at Lavendon for a meal. We'd been to this pub before, on my 40th Birthday, and it's a lovely old inn with low wooden beams and rough white-washed walls. We chose our meals and had a fairly long wait before they arrived by which time we were all famished. The food was OK. Keith and I chose the mixed grill and the sausages were almost burnt to a cinder while the steak was a bit tough but on the whole we enjoyed the meal and certainly weren't hungry when we left!
