Janet And Phil Pack Up And Head Home!

The heavy duty dining, while staying at pubs starts first thing in the day.  Breakfast is always included and it has never been a bad breakfast.  Here are the "starters" before they move onto Smoked Salmon and Eggs or Full English.


There last three nights in the pub were excellent.  Not once, but twice, they had dinner at The Crooked Billet.  The Brits turn their clocks back one week earlier than North America, so by around 5PM it's pretty dark.
Check out the interior!  Janet thinks it very eclectic and British and the Chef, Paul is something of a local celebrity.

They ate and ate and ate some more.

They can't remember what this was, but doesn't it look delicious?
Pork Belly

Stone Bass with Day Scallops and Polenta

Monkfish
Aubergine, Tomato and Zucchini Courgette with Cheese
And just for good measure, how about some Sticky Toffee Pudding with Clotted Cream?
Yummy!
It was all dark and foggy and spooky outside.  There are also not any street lights making it almost impossible to see.  The good roads are barely wide enough for two cars to drive by each other.  Did we mention there aren't any shoulders so you have to jump up onto the verge?  The other roads are the same except there isn't room for two cars.  Phil insisted the walk would be good for them, but Janet fell into a pothole and hurt her knee.  Turns out, it was probably the only pothole on the road, but she managed to find it.
 As per their custom, they met relly's Julia and Joe for lunch.  They are always fun to get together with.

Cool gloves whilst purchasing petrol so one's hands will not soil.

Super news - it was a car scrape free vacation!  No CDW hassles!
Congratulations All Blacks!
Bye, bye UK!  Hope the GPB (and we do mean Great!) is better next year!
