Day 3
Godfrey and I were the first ones up and we decided to walk to town for breakfast. We exited John's 1/2-mile driveway and Godfrey looked left to be sure he wasn't in the path of a speeding car before he stepped out into the street. Since we are in England it's a good thing that I looked right or he would have been hit for sure. Neither one of us needed coffee after that.
Godfrey had a veggie burger that cost him about $9.00. I had a regular hamburger and freaked out half way through it when I remembered about the mad cow thing in England.
We went back to the house, saw Alan and John and headed for the studio to do some playing. The music has been coming pretty easy and we've had no trouble writing at all. Now that I've said that we'll all get struk by writers block. We finished up and Lisa asked for volunteers for a grocery expedition. Godfrey and I were drafted. Lisa decided to take the Green Rolls Royce station wagon. I don't understand what everyone was staring at.?.?.? I must admit it is a good car if you're running out to pick up 20 or 30 bags of assorted food items. We were amazed at the amount of different candies and sweets that are made here. I think we bought 1 of everything. We were running up and down the aisles with 2 baskets going wild. We even picked up some of Linda McCartney's vegetarian meals.
We got back to Quarwood and were attacked by a kissing mob of Rottweiler puppies. There were 4 puppies, 2 adults and 2 adult Labradors. There are 3 more puppies that weren't there and Scarlet and Flynn ( the wolfhounds ) were also absent.
Our tour manager, Ken Jones and his family are also staying here. Marie is Ken's wife and she cooked a full course meal for 10. WOW! It was great. I asked her if it was hard to cook for that many people then I was informed that Marie worked for one of the biggest rock & roll caterers in the US.
After dinner we were joined by Chris ( John's son) and his girlfriend Leah. We all headed in the bar and started our evening session with a glass of wine and an acoustic guitar. Pretty soon John picked up the acoustic bass I grabbed a tambourine and Alan got a pad and pen. One half hour later we finished our next song entitled Left For Dead. Things are really going great and we are all having a blast. 2am time for bed.
