More sorting

More sorting out was done today.  We’d brought with us all our jars of herb and spices from home, so I combined them with the boat ones nd went through getting rid of all the out of date ones and the duplicates.

We still have a good range on the shelf.

I then did the same with all the roasting trays and bakeware, with the duplicates going in the charity shop pile.  Then we did a trip to the recycling centre in Towcester, and the Willen Hospice charity shop in Stony Stratford.  We parked up and went to find a cafe for lunch, stumbling across Miss Havisham’s in a little courtyard off the main street; their toasted sandwiches were pretty good.  At times (such as just after we parked) there were heavy showers which included little hail stones, but at other times the sun came out.

On the way back we stopped in Cosgrove and went for a walk down the canal and round a loop of the Ouse Valley Country Park to get some steps in.  It was pretty cold and windy in places, but you do get nice views of the Iron Trunk Aqueduct.

This afternoon, Adrian has been through the can cupboard weeding out more stuff that’s past its date, and we’ve also been cleaning things.  Tomorrow we’re going down to London for the Country2Country festival at the O2.
