The day started misty and humid and we donned the waterproof suits to stay dry until our morning coffee at Litchfield. The weather progressively improved after that and after we had lunch in Madison the weather was sunny and warm and it was good to get into Stamford nice and dry.



Coffee stop at Litchfield which was a great spot and we visited the St Michael’s fair which was fun. Here is Norm trying to knock the skittles over. He had already won us a chocolate each.



A Litchfield Main street view.



And a small courtyard behind some of the main street buildings. Very cute.



And some autumn leaves on the way back to the bikes in front of a lovely house. There were a lot of very spectacular and stately homes in the town.



Some decorative pumpkins at the front of a Litchfield shop.



And a local garden which was a treat.



As we wandered in downtown Stamford before dinner we discovered some lovely sculptures and here is one plus Normie.



And a view of old and new architecture which blended beautifully on a city building.



And one with Sharen to give an idea of the size.
Bits and Bobs:



A sign we found in the window of an insurance office….led to some interesting discussions at dinner.



A sign on the back of a delivery van.



Nothing anyone tells me will convince me that this is comfortable to wear .... or cool!

Last night’s Accommodation:



Conroy’s B & B
11 East Street
Stockbridge, MA 01262

Our room was in the barn and was quirky and comfortable. Breakfast included in the main house. The host friendly and welcoming but close to a turnpike and its noise and was over a mile to town to access an evening meal. I think most other accommodation around was a two night minimum over the weekend so this served the purpose but seemed expensive for what we got.

Last night’s Dinner:

Once upon a Table – a cute little restaurant which was a recommendation from our host and it was a delight. Small in size but huge in flavour of our meals. Beautiful food, fun service and good value for money. Happy to recommend it.
