GBMCC TLOSS Stamford - Day 1

I took the back route across rural Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire to get to Stamford.  It was so rural, that there were cattle grids and staffed railway crossing!  I stopped at Wymondham windmill and Whissendine windmill, with some really reasonable priced flour.

I stopped at Rutland Water for a sausage sandwich and a cup of tea, and I had to wolf it down to beat the clock on the grace parking period!

I arrived early, so I help bringing in the groceries, which was a lot of work! Due to some room arrangement issue, I ended up in a top floor room, which comes with its problem, namely water pressure.  I took the opportunity to walk to Burghley House to look at some sheep and deer before dinner.  We had dinner at a curry restaurant, it was very Stamford price!
