Pouring with rain. Mike went a walk into Pierrefitte in the rain to post the logs and picked up some bread (no pain, so he had two expensive baguettes). He set the Markon up for me to do some washing and ironing. After lunch the rain stopped. Later we watched the first of a new series called The Titanic Mission, this week about reconstructing one of the ship’s anchors, originally made at Hingley’s at Netherton (now sadly demolished and the site occupied by a factory estate) but a copy made at Forgemasters in Sheffield. They also re-enacted transporting the anchor on a cart towed by twenty shire horses to the middle of Netherton where it now rests as a monument. Must remember to have a look at that when we’re back in the UK
