St Albans – Day Two

I woke up suitably refreshed after a good night’s sleep. We decided not have breakfast in the hotel restaurant; there were many other options nearby.

St Albans – Day One

We left neither early nor late but precisely when we meant to. The journey, although tedious, was smooth without any hitches. Along the way we took a detour to have lunch in an ‘Extra Mile’ recommended eatery. The café was located in a small Rural Shopping Yard in the quaint village of Castle Ashby. Somehow, [...]

Watery Wales

We got absolutely soaked on our day trip to Hay-on-Wye. Just after lunch the heavens opened and we were drenched by rain of Biblical proportions. Driving home was a little tricky to start with due to standing water on the country lanes.
