In to Avon

Catch up time. Yesterday was very scenic and very beautiful. We no
longer like scenic and beautiful because, at least in England, these
words tend to be accompanied by words like rolling HILLS. Cheshire may
well be flat but Shropshire and Herefordshire are not !

We had trouble finding a decent pint of beer in Hereford in the
evening but maybe the walk was good for us. The Green Dragon hotel in
the centre of town is cheap and architecturally gorgeous with a very
good value breakfast but seems to be caught in that spiral of decay
caused by lack of investment due to the big chains finding it cheaper
to build new sites out of town. Still, it is highly suitable for E2E's
on a budget - same price as a Premier Inn but central and with a real
period feel.

We were on the road again before 8 heading for the Severn Bridge.
Beautiful, scenic and HILLY again. Coffee in Monmouth after an awful
hill at Llancloudy. The women seem to be getting more attractive, but
maybe we have been on the road too long.
