What mountains and secondhand bookshops have in common, why you shouldn’t use Strava to track your run on an aircraft carrier and all the things we leave behind.
I went expecting to love it ... and it left me *lukewarm*. Which was perplexing. May have to try it again, not on a Sunday (and avoiding a certain cafe). The walks around the town are indisputably lovely though.
So I had to look up car boot sale because I couldn’t figure out what you were trying to buy ha ha here we call it a garage sale. A car boot is something the authorities put on the car to immobilize it if it has too many parking tickets or some other scofflaw.
But your week in Wales sounded adventurous and fun, and the best thing is you’ll have great memories.
Gorgeous post, Jill - apart from the ceiling in Bath, which I'm trying soooooo hard to get out of my head.....! 😳🫣 #tmi
Yes to books and book shops and cafés that DO deign to sell you menu items that are in stock. And especially yes to the next mountain to climb, whether it indeed be a mountain or all 179 miles of Offa's Dyke Path! Onwards, Jill and Joel - and if not upwards, then most certainly along! 🤣
🤣 Some people are just extraordinary, aren't they?!
A chap I know who owns several student houses in a university city goes in every summer to muck out the newly-vacated spaces. He once showed me a picture of a room that had had wine and beer bottles very carefully arranged all around the edge, at skirting board level. Every bottle was full. And not with wine or beer... 😳
Ages since my visit. Lovely village

I’m talking about real ages. About 1986, after spending a while in Anglesey. Everything is plastic everywhere now. Guess 😊

I love the idea of a car wearing a boot to stop it going places. I wear boots for going places! 😘

So gross innit. Why the kitchen??? And why staples (that will just poke holes...)?? So many unanswered questions. 🤔

My god, I've just seen this. Why this compulsion to leave behind one's bodily fluids???????
Revolting, right?!
