Looks like a Canadian chain hotel breakfast. Ugh.

2 years agoI’m so sorry your first day out was such a disaster. We never experienced anything quite like this, but then we never tried biking anywhere near London either. Hopefully you’ll find everything more manageable once you get further away from one of the largest cities in Europe. Also of course, don’t forget that the train is such a convenient option if you need to cut some distance somewhere.

Shropshire blue is incredible cheese. As you might guess I seriously enjoy it. Really enjoying your blog. I can see I have lots to learn!
How very true. It genuinely is the changing of the guard. Elizabeth II was the only monarch of our lifetimes, or at least from when we were 4 years old. A fascinating view of history in the making.

This must be the country for them. We saw several in Kent and Suffolk, but then not another for the entire tour.
