Hello Wales

Met a great couple last night Andy and Maureen from Taunton who asked me to join them for dinner as they could see I was Billy No Mates. Fantastic couple and I sold them on the North East so maybe they'll come to Alnwick Gardens for Sunday lunch in the treehouse! Nice to have met you both. Last nights food was great and my room comfortable. Out like a light by 9.15pm. Later start today as breakfast had been prepaid and was served at 9. Todays trip was 78 miles from Trull to St Briavels uneventful but too hot and too much traffic on the A38. Some hills ...err think theyre the Mendips!   Staying in a fabulous Norman Castle used by King John as a hunting lodge. Ive been allocated a spot in the Guards Hanging Room so any trouble wil be dealt with. The local brew here is Bishops Tipple and is very nice. Full Sunday dinner is on the menu tonight. Thanks to Richard and Keith for their support today.
