Tuesday 12th June
Still raining. Went down to local beach first with Siobhan
and Toddy who have access to a beach hut for a look what it might be like on a fine
summer day, Toddy gave us 2 Irish footie
jerseys , then we headed up to Fordingbridge
to the Branksome china factory. Difficult parking in small village. Interesting small shop and factory in an old cinema. Unfortunately the business
which has been making this specific china since 1930’s is having financial
difficulties and is likely to close down.This seems to be a fairly common story
in England at the moment. Lynds bought one cup so we are hardly likely to keep
them afloat. Then on to St Austell in Cornwall to stay for 2 nights in a fairly mediocre B&B (because the
Youth Hostels are full this week with school groups) with terrible access and
parking from busy road, difficult access
to room with suitcases and somewhat odd
host who is not well suited to this business. Out for walk around the town and went to McDonalds for food
