WMD lunching out!

Much as Mrs. Woody knows I sometimes treat her to a £3.50 Meal Deal from the CoOp (other lunch type purveyors are available, etc.) as she was off work I treated her to a meal out in Stamford. Stamford is a great place with a very historic center which has featured as the backdrop for many TV programmes and series. It also has some fantastic places to eat such as The London Inn where we had a burger each. The onion rings are the best I have tasted so there was a side order of those! I don't normally approve of 'This is my lunch' photos but in this case I make an exception and have an image for posterity! We didn't eat for the rest of the day after that!

Whilst Mrs. W and I were having a good day someone in the nearby car park probably wasn't going to have a good day when they got back to their car.

Yes that is four parking tickets! I could not resist looking at in the windscreen and noting that although a car park ticket was displayed it was from another County and ran out 4 days ago!

Whilst talking cars we stopped at a garden center on the way home and they had two cars for sale. Amazing what difference a bit of time and a change in peoples attitudes to what is desirable. Not so long ago a Mk1 Land Rover would be worth a couple of thousand pounds depending on condition and a 1980's Mercedes a few hundred pounds. Now look! £21,500 for the Landie...

...and £24,995 for the Merc!

Think I will stick to buying model kits!
