So today we pulled out of Manchester CT at around 9:00am and negotiated our way through Hatford's road system (Wacky Races!) moving eastwards towards Falmouth MA. As we progressed the traffic gradually eased and we arrived at The Admiralty Inn just after 11:00am. Fortunately we got an early check-in and after some confusion over 'WiFi', we unloaded our bags and struck out on foot for the town centre. Falmouth is a pleasant town, reminiscent of a small English seaport, in terms of architecture and tranquillity. We had a Starbucks break and Skyped Jenny, before heading off to check out the neat harbour area and mini beaches. We passed some very nice cottages on our way to Main Street, each with its own well tended garden ..... again, all very English!
Reaching Main Street and its well manicured shops, we began to recognise features first seen when we visited Falmouth several years ago, with David. It was hot and having walked some distance, we found a specialist ice cream parlour and took a scoop or two! The ice cream was very impressive and to my amazement, I discovered it to be none other than Ben & Bills!!! Last sampled on my previous visit I've told countless others about this brand, but never managed to find it again until now! We like this place!!
And so to today's musical choice when I find I can't escape yesterday's memories of Woodstock and have chosen Jefferson Airplane and 'Don't you need somebody to love'.
