Another fab day. We had a late start today - nowhere to be until 12 noon. What a treat. Several of us took the opportunity to go down to Pier 5 before we made tracks. After a few trips to the Post Office Jasmin drove us to Savage Mill, just 20 miles away. Wow! Set in old mill buildings there are Antique stores, food, a quilt store and more.

Th e antique area was vast and very well patronised. Bonaparte Bakery made great sandwiches with their own bread. Yummy. By 3pm we were headed back to the hotel.
Meanwhile some of the other had been on a Harbour Cruise and others just strolled around the city and pier areas. A really lovely place to visit.
The Admiral Fell Inn is very well located and partners with another hotel on Pier 5, which is in the downtown area. They operate a free shuttle between the two, so very user friendly.
As a final fling before New York we have been for dinner tonight at Shuckers Restaurant - just across the road from the hotel. Perfect! I had crab, clams, mussels and shrimp. Heaven :)
some of the dinners were enormous. Spare Ribs was half a rib cage; the ice cream sundae was too much for four. I'm sure you get it.
Tomorrow we move on and I will leave the group and fly down to Houston ready for Quilt Market. Eighteen of the group will join me at the beginning of next week for Quilt Festival. Unfortunately, the rest are travelling home, or onto London.
What a blast it's been so far. More later!
