She Who Must Not Be Named granted me a much needed day off from my domestic toils and I was reminded indirectly that the Longwood Gardens Water Lily's would be blooming by now. That settled it, I headed East to Chester County and Longwood. The weather forecast was for some clouds and possible rain showers, Not a cloud in the sky all day!
I stopped for a late lunch at the Whip Tavern an English style pub where I ordered the Haddock, Chips and Mushy Peas and ate while watching the trout in the nice clear stream. Damn, the Mushy Peas were the icing on the cake!
