BBC iPlayer

Five weeks ago I missed a TV program I wanted to watch, called The Last Enemy.

That’s when I discovered  BBC iPlayer .

Every week I have been able to download this program onto my laptop and watch it at my convenience.

Its been a great thriller and I have really enjoyed watching it.

BUT and there is always a BUT I have just realized tonight was the last episode and was very disappointed with the ending.

Although I expect its been left open for a follow up series.

Out with the country set….

When we left the Outdoor show we made our way to a small village just off the A14 called Hamerton.

I thought I lived in the middle of nowhere but this is even more remote.2338094358_a9e28c3e97

We had been invited by friends to the local wine tasting evening, to be held in the village hall.

An evening to be spent amongst the locals , mainly farmers and from the steel family 🙂

Louise did the talk and presentation of 6 wines all from Argentina.

First it was a Cava then 2 white, a rose and 2 red, one of them being oak smoked.

I am not really much of a drinker, but all wines were very pleasant, Geoff particularly enjoyed the oak smoked red.

A great evening w2337259591_73f0b4d38fas had by all.

The following day we had plans to meet up with more friends at Grafham Water and cycle round it on a tandem, but much to my disappointment the weather had turned bad so this had to be cancelled. 

Instead we had a guided walk around Hamerton and saw to our amazement how much flooding can be caused by one and a half inches of rain.

So a great day after all  🙂
