Enjoying the warm sunshine, Jackie and I drove to Cambridge to visit the Galloway and Porter warehouse book sale as promoted by Andrew Cogan at COVER. Laden with twenty-eight new books, we stopped off on the return journey for lunch at The Cabinet in Reed. We remembered visiting the pub together back in the 1970s when the "regulars" included many farm labourers. Structurally it has barely changed, but it is now more of a restaurant than a pub. We ate in the garden and it was so relaxing. The weather was perfect and we abandoned plans to visit the Round the Block quilting exhibition in Watford and decided instead to spend the afternoon in the garden.
