Well another action packed weekend has passed. There was no time for any rest as I had to ensure Mum and Jim squeezed as much in to their 10 days as possible! On Friday night we went to the most amazing vegetarian restaurant where they served delicious thai dishes. Tempura asparagus...yum! I did ask the owner if she would set up a branch in Northampton but she complained about the distance of the commute. What a wimp!
A highlight of the weekend was catching the mail boat that visits the islands of Casco bay twice daily. It was gloriously sunny and perfect for standing out on deck, watching the sun set and gettting a snap shot of what life must be like on the islands. Lots of people had been grocery shopping in Portland and were transporting them on and off the boat in big carts.
However, no trip to Maine is complete without a trip to L.L.Bean...
It's weird not having them here any more but they escaped just in time. We had oodles (in British terms) of snow overnight and I did my first snow shovelling today...lucky me!
