Some technical issues sorted, got wifi where I am via a variety of
tricks. Slow but perhaps that echoes the pace.

Now…. 1, 2, 3 ‘We’re all going on a summer holiday, no more
worries……….. For a week or two!’

Ok, long journey, detour to avoid the M5 where the technology informed
us of massive delays, through the pretty countryside of the Welsh
marches (would not have seen this otherwise), over the Severn Bridge
(Wow) and 9 hours later we are here.

So, where’s here? Well the title may give a clue, otherwise think of
the famous Hovis advert – cobbled street, hillside, freewheeling down
for a thick slice….

And the view from our patio in this barn conversion…… Pretty good really.
