Wake in time for the Malaysian Grand Prix, good race duly won by Lewis Hamilton. Then brunch and we're off to explore the Brimham Rocks. A National Trust site with a large number of striking rock formations, the work of glaciers and wind and water. They're grist-stone, basically compressed fragments of quartz glued together with sandstone. The grist-stone is so named because it's hard enough for grist stones, and there are a couple on display. When the sandstone parts erode, some fascinating rock sculptures are left. The area is several acres and full today of families and dogs enjoying themselves.
Our farewell dinner is a Sunday roast special, with homegrown vegetables and a choice of apple pie or rice pudding. Or both, as Elaine offers - but sadly no one can hold both. If they hoped we'd all leave tomorrow they're doing everything wrong. But there's not much choice about leaving, as Jenny and Doug are off to Cyprus and a Mediterranean cruise on Tuesday.
