Another day out
Yesterday we popped into Leicestershire to follow one of the trails around Burrough Hill Fort. It’s an iron age fort so there are no signs of the actual fort now, but it commands a hill top presence with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and some good walks. We had a picnic lunch there, then drove on to Melton Mowbray, the Midlands town famous for its pork pies.
We found Ye Olde Porke Pie Shoppe, but weren’t tempted, especially as it began to rain. A nearby coffee shop was more to our taste.
Today we played golf at Rutland Water golf club, and were amazed to discover the course is only three years old. It was quite challenging enough for us. We went round in a buggy which is a treat for me but essential for Ed, and although I felt much less tired than usual after playing, I still came back and fell asleep in front of the television.
Tomorrow I’m looking forward to gardens and bird watching, so hope the warmer weather remains and the rain keeps away. At least we’re not affected by the ash cloud from Iceland, down here on the ground. I feel for those hoping to holiday abroad but spending all their time waiting about in airports for the wind to change.

One thing I’d prefer to say is always that before obtaining more computer system memory, have a look at the machine in to which it could be installed. In case the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, a memory limit is 3.25GB. Adding a lot more than this would just constitute just a waste. Make sure that one’s motherboard can handle your upgrade quantity, as well. Thanks for your blog post.
