15th May - take a leisurely trip up to Warwick after visiting the reptile shop and putting a deposit on a corn snake - Chester - see Life with Nutmeg.
Arrive at campsite at Warwick racecourse shortly after midday and set up on our pitch and have lunch and read the newspapers.
About mid-afternoon we take a short walk into Warwick to assess the lie of the land i.e. where the castle is and where the Cellar restaurant is, which we have booked for Saturday night.
Walk into town via the Westgate, where there are some fantastic medieval buildings (Lord Leycester's Hospital - see Saturday's entry when we visit.) After walking around the town we stop off for afternoon tea at Thomas Oken's house and have some proper tea and passable cakes.
Head back to the campsite, avoiding the rain showers and arrive back and have some wine, crackers and nuts. Then we cook dinner - lamb steaks, beefburgers and ratatouille.
Watch 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and can hardly hear it due to the pounding rain on the roof.
Tina has a poor nights sleep.
