I was volunteering at Attingham Park, no chance of walking whilst scanning in visitors to the park. Later we visited family, so only a short walk today.

But beauty can be found on the doorstep.

Mr C had a good idea… We would upgrade to Fibre Optic broadband.

The process should have been completed on 9th March but do to miscommunication between the various services this did not happen. It also led to our internet connection being cut on 16th March. Despite all the internal and external works being completed on 24th March we still had no internet access.

We weren’t able to follow the lack of service up with the provider until today due to a day trip to London Yesterday (more on that soon).

Today our service provider diagnosed the problem and a simple tweak to the router fixed the problem. Later in the day after a further phone call to our service provider our phone line was also reinstated.

For now everything seems to be working perfectly…

Now I need to catch up on posting about my recent adventures and finish my posts about St Fagans.
