Woodstock – Day Three
I opted for the Vegetarian breakfast but when it arrived it was not the best. The eggs had been cooked in a pan that was too hot; the bottom of the eggs were burnt and inedible, the mushroom was dry around the edges and the beans were tepid.

The Missing Angel
Last week when I was volunteering at Attingham Park Mr C visited Shrewsbury and whilst he was there he noticed the ‘Knife Angel’ in the square. This reminded me that I had been meaning to visit the Angel in Shrewsbury, but with other things going on I had forgotten about it.
