Saturday in Wells next the Sea

We loaded the washing machine in the harbour laundry and sorted out the shower block access card. The laundry took most of the morning, but whilst it was underway, Peter and I went into the town for some provisions. We called into the Tourist Information after ideas and found that the local theatre had a one night visiting professional group production of Oscar Wilde's 'Lady Windermere's Fan', so we bought two tickets. 
After lunch onboard, we took the narrow gauge railway from Wells to Walsingham. An idyllic ride, with lots of wild flowers and butterflies. We stopped long enough in Walsingham for a walk round and a pint. 
For a pre-theatre supper we ate fish and chips sitting on the quay watching the tide come in. For most of the day Calviere II has been high and dry, alongside the pontoon, making climbing on and off difficult. 
The production of Lady Windermere's Fan was highly amusing. The members of the group playing multiple parts and working very hard with quick costume changes. Lots of memorable lines and quotations.
