You are, St. James is outside the city centre. It's the Infirmary nearby.

Ah OK. Daughter moved from London to Leeds many years ago to do her Nursing Training. She did that at Jimmys. On one occasion when we visited she took us to a lovely Thai Restaurant overlooking the square, she was a MHN by then and she mentioned her Ward was just opposite.

Weather forecasters got it all wrong today so far. Forecast said light rain and we have lovely sunshine.
Up and out to the the Coop at 0730 and had to queue outside but this is workmen getting something for lunch so fair enough. Back home dumped shopping and out with the trike just after 0800. What a contrast from yesterday. Only local traffic so I gave way asap as these again are people heading for work. Got friendly toots as they passed and most know me anyway. Touroid yesterday accelerated hard when passing and no acknowledgement from any of them.
Checking my tyres yesterday and saw a couple of scooters heading past. I thought they had built up speed on a downhill approach and were still coasting as they reached me but realised very soon that these were electric ones. Strange situation as they appear to be legal on the road if you have hired them but not if you own them. First ones I have seen but they seem a bit of a menace to pedestrians as they approached silently from behind and caused some consternation to one lot anyway.

Nipped into Honiton for supplies and fuel then went for a walk around Dumpdon hill fort.
Carried on to the Otter Brewery to pick up a case of 'Bright', then carried on to the Catherine Wheel pub in Hemyock for lunch.:okay:

The Otter Brewery - tucked away in the middle of glorious Devon countryside - what a place to work!

You can just see the spare fermentation vessels that are stored in the yard.

Blimey, I thought it was Regulator, what with his obvious fondness of this forum!
