A glorious warm sunny day again today. Sara did her usual stint at Morning Star whilst I dealt with some
urgent correspondence before I drove over to Warminster and Westbury. In Warminster I bought some fresh cartridges
for the office printer from The Ink Shop
and did some banking after which, having filled my car with fuel from Morrisons
(the cheapest I’ve seen in Wiltshire), I drove to Westbury for a meeting with a
fellow student and client. We talked
business over a really enjoyable lunch at the Tale of Spice-II – a really
excellent prawn balti with nan bread – I would certainly recommend it and
apparently it has a very good reputation and has won many awards. The meal was even better for having been bought
for me by my client! I returned to
Winterslow at about 4.00 p.m. and had
about an hour before going into Salisbury for an important meeting of Sarum Lodge
– the initiation of a new candidate. An
excellent evening – with nearly 40 brethren present from all over Wiltshire,
Hampshire and Dorset. The ceremony went
extremely well and I enjoyed my part in presenting the new candidate with a
lapel badge and tie and also giving the toast/speech at the dinner afterwards. Having worked hard to get the candidate
prepared I felt great pride in seeing it all come to fruition. With three Grand Officers present, including
the Assistant Provincial Grand Master, it was important that we put on a good
show. We certainly did. Felt quite tired when I eventually got home
as it had been a really long and fully packed day. Tomorrow Sara and I are giving ourselves a
day off and plan to visit Sherborne in Dorest.
