O'the roast beef of old England

Wednesday we went to Boston(lincs.) and met up with Vicki and Alan of Firshill Towers,they were at their country residence tattershall castle,after a lovely hour or so of shopping(not helped by Al complaining about the weight of bags though he did have a case as he was carrying a bag of potatoes weighing five lb),we retired to a little cafe on the banks of the river witham,and joined lots of other rather elderly people for a roast beef lunch/dinner,as you may guess this was not outrageously expensive it being a favourite haunt of the elderly,the only downside was we were running out of parking time and had to miss out on treacle sponge,the banana we had in the market was a poor substitute,though of course much healthier!
The weather is a little better and yesterday was a nice sunny day with temperatures up to 25c,which coincidentially is the winter temperature at crocodile mick's residence,it should be a little better at the height of summer when we visit,I was reading on a website that they have the best climate in Australia up there.
The poms seem to be making their mark in Brisbane,Sam with the football and Sandra is hoping to make the Aussie olympic shopping team,Mike Montana is forever telling her to save the receipts but having seen the bags etc.I would hesitate to go so far as to suggest anything like that,the brown one however does look as if it may have belonged to a kangaroo at some stage,but full marks for trying,I once bought a man's bag in Italy and over there it was fine and never a strange glance,the problem arose when I went into Sheffield with it,ribald comments and leering glances brought about the decision to use it for storing drawing materials and banned from use as a fashion accessory this was back in the early seventies,no doubt it would be less of a source of amusement in these enlightened times.
The cycling career of Montana mike seems beset with problems,not least a lack of ability to keep up with other cyclists,is the love affair drawing to a close or will his training provide a new lease of life to the latest craze?I am sure the poms will have a point of view on this.
Thats all for now from the lincolnshire prairie.
