Wandering over to Wotton

It was a wee bit cooler and rainy today. Sue had kindly offered to drive us over to Wotton-under-edge to investigate the location of a GG grandmother with the lovely first name Kezia (Tricia likes it a lot). She and her husband, and later just her, ran a second-hand business here, and we are all pretty sure we know where it was. So we drove over to Wotton-under-edge (locals say either ‘Wooton’ or ‘Wootonundridge’). We parked the car and dragged a bunch of umbrellas into town. Sue knew precisely where to go as it was opposite the local Library where she had worked. That street has a boring name now, but it was originally 'The Steep". We took some photos and looked for the possible house they had lived in, then decamped back to a cafe to have a drink, reminisce some more and dry off.

Back home by lunchtime - thanks, Sue.

I missed out on looking for the McMurtry car outfit based outside of Wotton, but I don’t think I am in their target $1M market for car buyers. Still, I can say I was there…

Later in the afternoon, we went up the road to see cousin Bruce, who still lives in the house that was originally their grandad’s last home. We went out for coffee and had a good chinwag.

Back for an early evening to play with the washing machine and dishwasher before we leave here tomorrow.Read more
