Day 59-62. Monday to Thursday. 23-26 June 2003. Lazy Days.

Well we had to take some time off, a lay day was not enough. If Pat was feeling the strain, I was feeling it more so. I was completely worn out. Before our holiday we were busy at home preparing everything and now we had had 3 months on the go most of the time, my 70 year old body was now feeling the strain. We just stayed in the vicinity of Cricklade.

Today Vicky, organising her school trip left for Devon and we would not see her again until Friday when we were due to go to Usk for the weekend.

On Tuesday after a "do nothing" Monday we decided to venture out so we took a trip up to Cirencester. The trouble was we could not find the town centre. When going by bus or with Ian or Vicky it seemed so simple. We seemed to get into town and following the traffic we seemed to end up where we started from on the outskirts of Cirencester. After doing this twice we realised we must be on a one way system so we tried carefully to watch for "Town Centre" signs but we just managed to do the same again, there were no signs. Frustrated we headed back in the direction of Cricklade calling at the supermarket on the way and having a cup of coffee.

So we just stayed in Cricklade.

By Friday I think we had had a good rest with fine sunny days and we were raring to go to Usk, but that is another story.
