Day 40 27 August

Another restful quiet day.  Anne is just 10 minutes walk from the village of Lytham and the sea so we took a walk to explore a few areas close to her home.  The estuary is quite expansive with an established promenade along the waterfront.  The village of Lytham prides itself on its floral presentations around the streets - flowers in bloom in boxes, pots, hanging baskets.  Being a public holiday in England today, there were many people out to enjoy the fabulous warm sunny day.  The shops look inviting so that will be a must on the to do list.  We dined Italian tonight so have just got in from a lovely stroll home, so different from the pace of London. 

On a more practical note, we have caught up with the washing, made our plans for the rest of the week and enjoyed having time to ourselves.  We have yet to confirm our plans to meet with the Gibsons - Simon and Anne, Patrick and Barbara, and Cathy.  We are looking forward to catching up with them.

So we are enjoying seeing another part of England.  Thanks for keeping us in the loop with news from home.  Until tomorrow, love to all.
