Sunday morning and we took a short walk to Starbucks for coffee and bagels before loading up and checking out. Today we were heading for the Bridgeport ferry, taking a short cut across the water to Long Island NY.
It was a fun trip and after disembarking in Port Jefferson, we were soon heading for Southampton. The traffic was heavy and and we encountered a number of stoppages, many connected with the current local fashion for driving out to farms in order to pick fresh farm produce and cause traffic jams! We eventually reached The Southampton Long Island Hotel ..... a 'motel' and checked-in. Not the best place we've stayed in, but this is the Hamptons! We took a drive into the centre of the village where a Sunday 'September-Fest' was in progress. Basically a farmers market in the park! Walking down Main Street it was apparent from the the cars, houses and shops, that we were in big money territory ...... we met and chatted to a nice guy with a very nice nice Golden Retriever, who is apparently the son of the owner of Galatasaray FC! We talked Football and Brexit and he showed us a picture he'd recently taken at the American Open, of Louis Van Gaal!
We spent a couple of hours down there before returning back to base and a c**p Hispanic meal ...... tomorrow night we'll eat at the Southampton Publick House!
Today's musical memory is prompted by a track that played whilst we were in 'Line 3' at the Bridgeport Ferry terminal. 'Donovan's 'Mellow Yellow'.
