Frankenstein country

Left home just after 9:30 for a swim, followed by a gym induction. Think the gym will be too challenging - usually end up injuring body parts. Will have to go early during the summer to avoid the heat. Was weary before arriving and more so once home.

Mr B collected me as usual. Drink on the terrace in the shade. Then walked back via a couple of Chinese shops on a hunt for Tamari sauce (which is Japanese) - no luck. Will have to wait for a Waitrose or online shop.

Passed the good old Weatherspoon ‘Mary Shelley’ pub, featuring *Frankenstein on the hanging sign (*written by Mary Shelley)

“ Fiction writer Mary Shelley is best known for her novel Frankenstein.
But, before she died on February 1 1851, one of her last requests was to be buried in Bournemouth, even though she had never lived in the town.
Her wish was fulfilled - as was her request for her already deceased parents to be re-buried with her.
But the family plot in St Peter's Church also includes something perhaps more unusual - the remains of Shelley's husband's heart.”
