Well at last I don't have to rely on the rubbish poor internet at the Travelodge who charge you for this then berate you throughout your stay to rate them 10/10 if you get a questionnaire which is a bit like the garage where I bought the Toyota who have similar while everytime you go in but couldn't even tune in the radio when I picked it up new. Well it's good to be home, my back has been playing up a bit which compounds the knee although having said that I still think the leg is making good progress its just hard to appreciate it with other pains going on. We've been through all the post and printed out all the internet orders. We are going to sit down nd relax in a minute having put most things away although the large painting we bought from the National Trust in Cornwall is still in the back of the car waiting enough pain killers or energy to shift it. Our trip today took us first to Barnstaple which was really like watching pain dry at the bus station so little had it changed and levels of activity seem to have tumbled, then via some diversions on yet more road works we got down to Taunton at lunch time on the day of their evening carnival procession. Here there was so much new with First branded in a green livery at Somerset buses or Taunton buses plus the local independent Webber and a couple of odd bods the whole effect though was quite startling and refreshingly different it was probably the first such treatment I'd seen given to a whole First fleet albeit Falkirk has in to a lesser degree. This certainly perked me up and kept me going through to time to hit the motorways home. We stopped at the new Gloucester motorway services which are supposed to be like Tebay in Cumbria but the portion were meagre and quality iffy. Here are some shots from today, I'll work back through the trip over coming days blogs as I get the DVDs edited, intending to have a bit of a rest tomorrow. Comments are closed.
