When we finally got to our B&B yesterday, the people were lovely. Just wonderful. Bill took us in and fed us tea and current cake. We talked and talked and the. Went right across the street to the pub, The Ragged Cot, and hac a great meal. Again, I was so stressed out that I had no appetite, nor did I want anything alcoholic. But when we came back we talked again with our hosts for a good 2 hours, and finally bid them goodnight at 11PM.
Up with a full English breakfast and then on to Painswick, with only one time getting lost. Painswick is a wool village with a lovely church, very, very narrow streets where only one car can pass so they block traffic so that only one lane travels at a time. We went to see the Rococo gardens and it was windy and threatening rain. Then back to Painswick to walk around. The village is so tiny that they don't have a bank or any regular ATMs and the B&B wants to be paid in cash, as did the one last night. So we are out of cash and must find an ATM tomorrow to pay our bill. Local pub for food tonight that was very good. I will have to have a special post just for the food we've had. Not a bad meal so far. Back at the B&B now and siting in the courtyard to get an Internet signal. But too cold and windy, so will end this post.
I noticed today that the car has lots of nicks, dings,and scrapes, and I'm quite sure we haven't done the damage, but we were so happy to finally get a little car that we just took it without going over the outside with the agent. Now I'm sure they will charge us for all the damage to the car, which is not ours. This is upsetting me greatly, but nothing to be done at this point.
Hello to you and Jim. Sorry you were so frazzled, but have heard this from others too - including nervous breakdowns on the Roundabouts. You are inaugurated. AND you have been to Paddington Station (my romanticism just went turbo) and you have had currant cake in Paintswick. Am reading every word and loving it. Peace and love, be well, be happy.
