Crashed out under the most wonderful huge feather duvet but woke several times, overheated and so, so dry. I say it was a bad hangover but Graeme tells me I was dehydrated cos it was so hot! Fixed that by chucking it off the bed and back to sleep till 7am.
writing the blog!
Get up and....Oh dear- Im still not feeling hot though- couldnt stomach a cooked brekky but Graeme gallantly preserved through bacon, eggs and sausage! We tidied up and packed up- finding our rental car has been scraped overnight- no note on the windscreen.... although its not too bad as we can rub most of it off and we will just have to see when we return it.
We then drove on to Downside Abbey which is what I like to call a Nunnery and a Monkery! Its a Catholic church- massive and we were able to go through it and had it all to ourselves- it was tall and imposing- I wonder where the English churches all got their money to build these huge buildings.
Then on to Stratton Drew, down tiny lanes to a field filled with standing stones. The whole concept of what they were all about is intriguing.
On to Gloucester after going through Bristol- the roads and roundabouts now are nowhere near as stressful. We decided to stay in Gloucester as its only half an hour from our friends Matt and Michelle in Worcester. We found the B & B that rated well here on trip advisor. Its fine for our needs and at 65 quid, is cheap.
We wandered down to the town- heaps of shops here and a massive new label shopping complex where they have renovated all the old docklands warehouses.
It has been fantastically done but was strangely empty? Wandered back and went to a pub down the road to get a meal- needed lots veges- and that was from Graeme!

Not content with eating and boozing up large, I see Gray is now getting stoned!
Yeah, well, after that corny joke! ... yes, the churches built all these incredible cathedrals, churches etc while the lower classes lived in utter and abject poverty. Christianity??
Hope you found your veges. Can remember being in Europe somewhere, near-frantic for some fresh fruit due to all the stodge we were eating!
yes that how we felt. There was a pub about 50 yards down the road which is popular and we had one of their roasts and veges/ We havent been having lunches cos brekkys are big, but was ready for the veg!
I like today's spaz shot! Funny.
