Next phase of the lockdown, 17.5.2021.

Today was the next phase of the lockdown on Boris's timetable reached and to celebrate we went to our favourite watering hole, Pear mill café much to Pepe's delight as he get's a plate of boiled ham!. Today along with his lady friend Saskia they were given a plate each of boiled ham and a chopped up sausage!, made his day.

Where's the grub?.

Always a nice flower arrangement on all the tables.

We met our friends there from the dog walkers group, unfortunately friend Jean had had to have her dog Button put down just before Christmas, so it was a very sad Christmas on her own this last one!.

Our other friends from our Thursday picnic's at KFC turned up and sat at the next table so it was five of us there and only the KFC ones had seen each other this past twelve months so had lots to talk about.

Think we still have to be careful even though we have all had our First and Second jabs, the Bolton  Area is still a trouble spot and can't understand why looking at the queues on the news there were people of our age in the queue that should have been jabbed weeks ago!.

After the visit to the Pear Mill café we went round the back of the Mill to see if the Peregrine Falcons were there, and the parents were there though its hard to see the babies that I understand are there with the nest site so high up and the babies only small at the moment.

Here are the parents, one on the top of the 200 foot high chimney.



The other on the site of the nest.

This was about 2-30pm so it was a bit late to see any feeding, will have to get there earlier next time!.

So a good day seeing old friends again, and the owners of the café did us proud with a couple of free drinks to celebrate our return on their first day open again.
It was also nice to browse round the stalls to see what was on sale, always open for a bargain!.

Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker, I know what you are getting for your birthday, I've felt your presents!.

  Did you hear about the cannibal that went on a diet?

He only ate midgets!.
