As we joined the M62 on the way to meet Janet and John for lunch, Ping! Loss of pressure, right front tyre. (Back right last time.). The steering felt normal so we limped on, and after lunch found the tyre pressure only marginally down. But since we have another long journey in prospect, I took the car across the road to the tyre place, where they found no punctures, but nevertheless got the tyre off and cleaned the rim, which must have been leaking a bit. £24, a fraction of Saturday’s bill. Unlike then, we have a few days to test the repair before we do highish speeds for hours.
Pleasant lunch with Linda in Beverley today: we shall be looking for the Elizabeth David recipe for leek, potato and tomato soup! It’s getting on for fifteen years since we last saw her, so we’d a lot of catching up to do. We’d a glass of wine in one of the ‘rooms’ of her lovely garden before lunch, lunch in her goldfish bowl dining room and a cup of tea afterwards in her little summerhouse.
Beautiful day, good company, splendid food. Hard to beat that? Well, of course: what else but a trip to the Cottingham Road Lidl. Since we’re on our hols, it wasn’t a bad idea to shop in student country: oven chips and scampi, ready-made pizza, microwave prawn linguine and a quiche Lorraine. Good job we have the gaviscon tablets with us.
