Up early...

Still much to do...




This tiny bird entertained...



As did the wee black and white cat from the end of the road...



I met his owner - she had known Pam - I told her the cat had been there when we left Acorn Road for the last time back in September last year...



All very sad...

Around 10, kind of brother in law Paul and his two girls Danielle and Sharney came round with their big van to help further clear the huts and take stuff to the dump...





...while Anne finished off the back lawn with the help of a further expension supplied by Paul...



The work over, it was back to St Albans again for some wandering around...





...and lunch...



...at the Bakehouse...



It was Market Day...





The stall at which I purchased the Glenn Gould string quartet disc back in March was there but nothing enticed...

Instead, the latest edition of BBC Music magazine was purchased...

Back to the cathedral...



It contains St Alban's thighbone don't you know...



Gotta have a relic if you wanna draw the crowds - as they said in medieval times...

Ice cream enjoyed...



...and this lady peering from a dance and music building attracted...



On our way back home to a now almost completely empty house, we decided to partake of a beer...



...and watch the cricket at Leverstock Green...





Leaving Anne to do some final gardening, I went into Hemel - vibrant yet depressing somehow...



Discs by Starcastle and Grinderman picked up in charity shops (erm, I already have the Grinderman disc and don't particularly like it - idiot!)...

Back at the house, I would have killed for a seat...

Relaxing to Starcastle nonetheless...



Later, a visit from Pam's chum (and sister of Michelle), Suzanne with husband Chris and their lovely daughters Megan...



...and Olivia...



Pam was determined to see the girls grow up...



Alas, it wasn't to be..

But I hope they won't forget their Auntie Pam...

A lovely sunny evening saw us over in Hemel old town...







...to Saffron for a very tasty Indian meal...



Then, a walk around the Gadebridge Park...



..and a drive over to Berkhamstead in the rising moonlight...



..and we drove out to the Bridgewater Monument...



...spotting some (unpictured) deer on our way...



Home and to bed - the final piece of furniture in the house, having decided to leave tomorrow rather than Monday...

Highlight of the Day : Saffron...
