Wednesday 27th September 2022 The first day here was Wednesday and we wandered up to Keswick which was the local market town in the northern part of the Lake District. We wandered around the quaint little town full of touristy shops and suchlike. The car park was a bloody nightmare. Unless you had cash, and …

Tuesday 26th September 2022 Next morning, we set off up the A49 again, leaving Shrewsbury and heading north for the Lake District. As it was late in the year for tourism, we weren’t expecting too much. We stopped at a few places for snacks and drink on the way up. It was raining when we …

Sunday 24th September 2022 Had a very nice dinner in the Red Kite last night. They really are good and the staff is excellent too. Makes all the difference. We wandered north a little towards Raglan and Abergavenny in Monmouthshire. All places I had been to before. Abergavenny was really busy with sort of fanfare …

GUEST POST from Don: Medical Science Too Far?
Recently a kidney (the left one this time) decided to go into the masonry business as a means of telling me I was not drinking enough water.
