Lincolnshire - Abbey and scenery

Today was my day out with Ch and M to Lincolnshire. Turns out they were heading there to drop off some clothes to be donated to Armenia. Their cousin who lives in Holbeach has an Armenian friend who travels to back home and gives away clothes to people there. So from time to time, Ch and M will drive there to donate the clothes and visit their cousin. So anyway, today they didn't go to their cousin cos he is only free before 10am! So usually they will leave Bham at 6.30am!! Anyway, they came specially to church to pick me up else they could've gone from their place, which is nearer! So paiseh la..told them I could've taken a bus to their place..and Ch said "I'm not letting u get a bus at 7am in the morning!" 

So this morning cos I was up early, L commented I was up early so told her my church members are bringing me to Lincolnshire..and her reply was "it's very flat...they grow a lot of potatoes and food there". M mentioned about it being flat and boring in her email too...so I thought that place must be really flat. So anyway, I got what they mean..is fields and fields of crops..we only stopped at 2 garden centres (for their toilet and morning tea once) and Crowland Abbey. It's a pity we didn't stop at more towns to have a walkaround or even to Lichfied where M told me about the big cathedral. But cos I asked to tag along, I can't ask for more la..haha..anyway, I was telling them that I can pass my clothes to them before I leave then..cos I was also looking and seeing which charity shops I should donate my stuff too!

Here are some of the photos!

As expected, they didn't want to take my money for my morning tea...so I offered to pay for lunch or afternoon tea...but they never had it!! Cos we had our scones ard 11+am and got back to Bham ard 4+pm. Hmmm..I guess I will have to get them something. They sent me all the way back too...and feel quite bad cos they would be stuck in the jam to get back home cos we saw the bad peak hour traffic on our way to my place...and the tunnels in the city are closed so more people use the other roads. Had quite a nice time with them. Ohh..I prepared kaya crispbread and brought some of my sambal tapioca chips and they loved them!! So I can give the bottle of Kaya to them. Ohh..and Ch was so cute..before we had tea just when M placed the drinks and scones on the table, Ch passed me a memo paper asking me to do a poster for the Bank Holiday breakfast (cos they liked the poster I made for the craft fair!) and asked me to read Psalm on Sun too. Haha..

Came home and C was cooking...he didn't offer so I just cooked instant mee with bratwurst. First instant mee since I came. I shall say, I still prefer those with unique flavours...this one is BBQ beef but not much taste..haha! Had my cherries too and saw one that was mouldy!! Think there's something wrong with the fridge or just coincidental? My carrots also I noticed..spoils quite fast! The other day L said she cleaned out the fridge cos she found penicillin (or mould?) growing in there! Eeeks! Then yday I saw my cake had mould but I didn't put them in the fridge.

Nothing planned for tmr..weather forecast is light rain...so likely will wash my sheets and cook dinner. Maybe Fri then go out to get some groceries. Shall see how..cos forecast is light rain also on Fri.
