Back Home

Well, I'm back from my holidays, and an interesting time it was, too. We ate too much and spent too much, as you do on holiday, but it was still a great week.

We went camping. The only time it rained was Tuesday, when we moved camps. We just managed to get the last tent peg in before it started. But, did it start?!?!? Thunder, lightning, and rain so hard it was coming through the seams. Still, we played cards and had great family fun.

We spent the first half of the week at Hay-on-Wye in Breckonshire. It's a great little town, known as The Town of Books. Why? Because every other shop is a book shop. Well worth a visit if you like books.

The second half of the week, we spent at the ancient Roman city of Bath. UK, that is. It's famous for its hot springs, which is why the Romans built their baths there. It was also made famous by Jane Austin. My daughter tells me that Miss Austin mentions Bath in most of her novels, mainly because she lived there for a time.

On Thursday evening, we met up with some old friends and had dinner with them on Friday, which was a wonderful end to our holiday.

And, so, it's back to the grindstone. Work on Monday, and my boss on holiday for two more weeks!
