Rachel and Heather are seated at the table in the breakfast room and ready to enjoy our meal. And it is time for my second cup of tea. My new (and totally British) morning ritual is a cup of tea upon rising. It's a nice way to start the day and works well to warm me up on these chilly mornings. Which sounds silly because look at the sunshine streaming in!!!
Heather, always so motherly and sweet, and Rachel obligingly smiling for the photo. And Sara, of course, off foraging for food... Actually, I'm afraid I have misrepresented Sara. She and I are both taking this picture, which is why these dear girls don't know which way to look and smile.
Janet, the lady who ran the bed and breakfast, also cooked a made-to-order breakfast. This is what is known as a Full English Breakfast. We were offered all sorts of lovely breakfast choices. Except for the black pudding. That was not a lovely choice. But the sausage and eggs, and toast and scones, mushrooms and crispy bacon were all quite tempting and delicious. A little confusing was the fried tomato but it was surprisingly good if a bit unorthodox to my American way of thinking about breakfast. Not certain of when or where our next meal would be, we ate plenty to fortify us for our day's adventures.
