Gloucs & Worcs (June '19) - Day 3

Bobby came over with dogs late last night. We headed off for a late night shop st Tesco’s to buy a quilt and some more essentials. By the time we met up and got the car parked it was well after 11. Kim made up the dinette bed. It looked as long as the fixed bed so I had s quick try - crack, bang, scrape ... I was on the floor and the bed had collapsed! To be fair to Brunnehilda I may not have clicked it into place properly but ... the design (4 very small screws holding it up)  is not great! We got it propped up on cushions to allow it to be used as a bed.
Oh, BTW, it is as long as the other bed!!



Weather not as good today but all had a good night. 3 adults and 2 rather confused collies fitted in and all seemed to have had a good night sleep?
The sun did poke it’s head out for a bit after we finished another alfresco breakfast fry up. The walk through the park into Cirencester was gorgeous. We had a coffee in the sun before walking back. The dogs thoroughly enjoying the leg stretch after a confined nights sleep.


In the afternoon we went back into Cirencester with the car - lots of things to buy from DIY, pet and camping shops! We still had time for a very good value cup of tea in Cirencester town centre - £1 each. Thumbs up to Caffe Kilim (3 Market Place) ... Afterwards we walked round a rather eclectic but nevertheless impressive array of old cars being shown in the main Square.




Back to Brunnehilda for a snack. Well to be fair we snacked in Isabella as by this time the weather had broken and it was drizzling then raining then pouring, may be rubbish weather but it did prove that  Isabella is fully waterproof - yippee.



We were planning a walk into Cirencester for dinner. The weather had other plans - you can’t change the weather so just change your plans!! Yeh, screw you English June weather!
Fab meal at The Fleece https://www.thefleececirencester.co.uk/. You could have moved a small family into Kim’s steak and ale pie. My Flatbread was nice but the wrong choice.

Kim and Ben (one of the collies!) headed home at about 8.30 - well someone has to earn some money in this family!

Bobby, Tilly (the other collie) and I settled down for a restful evening - Bobby writing a work proposal, Tilly watching the dogs walking by the awning en-route to the dog exercise field and me just chilling. After 37 years of e-mail fuelled Sunday nights, I’m getting used to this chilling malarkey!


So last night was the first night with dogs, tonight is the first night without Kim!
