Abbots Ford On the morning of departure, somehow or other, I didn't pay, because I'd got money from Monica. She made an offer to my painting. I couldn't find the words to express my gratitude. According to her recommendation I went to"The Mussel Inn" restaurant first to book a table for dinner. But they didn't accept any bookings. Then I dropped in at"Abbots Ford" pub, and drank "Jarl" ale. Then I went to the "Pen Shop" to buy a calligraphy pen which was made in Germany.
