Sunday 7 July

Went to breakfast after church but skipped the ringing and went home to get suki and pick susie up from station.  Then back to church to pick up Mike and set off for the George at Eartham in Sussex. plan was a pub lunch at 12 followed by handbells at hamish's house while Mary and susie walked from the pub to the house with suki.  As we set off Satnav warned of 87 min delay due to closed road on the route but initially did not offer any alternative.  We decided to head for m3 m25 a3 and about 10 mins later it recalculated a route that would avoid the delay.  When we got to m25 there was sign saying a3 closed so we did the bird world route suggested by Satnav.  Got to pub at 12.20. Steve and Mary not so fortunate.  Went on a3 and got stuck.  Eventually police closed off Guildford which couldn't cope with volume of diverted traffic.  They eventually arrived at 3.45! Meanwhile we had nice lunch. I had goat's cheese and leek tartlet.  Mike had half pint prawns in shells.  Then went back to house. Not sure how to cope with suki as they have a cat but I kept her on lead and cat kept her distance.  Luckily a lovely sunny day so could stay in the garden with suki. Susie took her for a walk while we rang some major on handbells.  Rang some royal when Steve and Mary finally arrived while susie and Mary took suki for a two hour walk.  At 5 went to ring for evensong as they were going to be short leaving Mike watching Andy Murray win Wimbledon men's championship.  After we rang again for a bit and then had lovely cold supper provided by sue.  All in the garden.  I hadn't realised it would be such a long day.  Left at 9 for hour and a half drive home and took susie to her door so after 11 when I got to bed
