A fun day with good social interaction. I got up fairly early but spent quite a time on the computer. Gill went round to Maria's and I had an early lunch before heading off into town to meet a new friend Antonella, whom I'd offered to show the Millennium Bridge. She's not from York and didn't know the walk from the centre down to the bridge and up through Rowntree Park, and it was really nice to be able to show her.
We parted in the Clifford's Tower car park and I foraged a few sweet chestnuts.
Came home via Richard at Country Fresh. I then had a final session picking walnuts off the tree. Those I couldn't quite reach from the stepladders, I whacked with a stick to make them fall. Later, I laid out most of them on trays to dry... and there were over 300.
Robbie came round, with a bottle of home made cider, as last year I'd given him a load of brewing equipment, and this was a thank you!
Philip came round at 8pm and we had 3 happy hours chatting, me shelling hazelnuts, and catching up as we haven't spent an evening together for a very long time.
