An unexpected delay has given me an extra couple of days of Festial time. A few more things ticked off my 'to do' list: churchwardens and church keyholder now duly invited to launch … more press releases sent … explanatory posters and flyers deposited in Wood Dalling church and village Post Office.
We arrived at the latter by bike in the rain. Publicity materials having been accepted for display by the friendly shop assistant (indeed, the poster instantly and very deftly being given a prominent position in the front window!), we discovered that the back of the otherwise-typical village shop is given over to secondhand books. Like predatory birds we swooped. I fancied a 1975 bird book; Trevor looked longingly at a thick leather-bound volume on the Domesday Book (just £1) and also a vintage-looking book of vintage cricket photographs (yes, well …). Anyway, we had come out without any cash between us, so resignedly we pedalled off home for a cup of tea through the slightly worsening rain.
