hearty breakfast upscale dinner excellent pie unsteady temperature open window church clock
The breakfast included a hearty meal. The dinner menu seemed upscale. I found excellent pies too! The fillet was yummy.
The shower water temperature was difficult to keep constant. I stayed on a warm night, so I needed the window open. I awoke several times during the night because the village church clock chimed hourly.
