We crossed the very long and curvy Severn Bridge back into England into the county of Somerset. Among other things, Somerset’s claim to fame is the production of great apple cider called Scrumpy.
We spent two nights at the King Alfred Inn in Burrow Bridge which is the smallest of villages next to the Burrow Mump. The Mump is built on top of a tor which is a limestone covered hill. There is a small tower remaining onto top of the tor to which we did climb on a rainy, muddy day. (so far, a fair few of our days in the UK had moisture.)
I was really lucky with this lodging as they had a laundry machine; combination washer and dryer. Unfortunately, it was very inefficient as an hour's worth of drying was inadequate to dry a small load of tee shirts. But... I did get the washing done by machine rather than by hand.
John wants you to know that, in spite of prior warnings, I did play Monopoly with him and, yes, he did win.
The two days were also notable as we had 3 Indian curries; purchased from Tescos and heated at home. This is a record even for John.
