Good Morning Gloucester

Baked potato….

The view from my window on Little Banjo Pond. It’s my first spring here so i’ve never seen this view before.
I have ducks 🦆, but unfortunately , no deck.

We tried the Mooring Restaurant in Manchester for dinner recently. Located on Union Street, it is a very small place with a pub-like atmosphere. The limited seating available during the pandemic allows for very few seats. The menu is small but varied and there was a daily special in addition. I had the chicken gyro and Jim had the daily special French dip which was served on a Virgilio’s roll. Jim especially enjoyed the side salad offered as a replacement for the fries. Our server, Amanda, was appropriately masked and distanced and did a great job as the only server while we were there. We might plan to return for lunch because of the pub type setting, nice and relaxed with a view of the world going by.
