26 Sep 2014. <GB-ENG> Warminster, & Trowbridge, Wilts —
Today started with a little shopping. Susie wanted to check out B&M at Warminster. Went back to the Trowminster Odeon — nothing of interest showing right now. Did some clothing shopping at Matalan in Trowbridge, then went out towards our layby, but instead pulled in to the Clanger & Pickett Wood (yes, that really is the name!). Walked through the woodlands for about 45 minutes, communing with the various dog-walkers we met along the way, and then we went back to the Odeon in time to go in to
The Guardians of the Galaxy. As the film started up we were thinking "what the hell have we let ourselves in for?", but it soon took shape and turned into a rollicking space opera, much in the style of E.E. "Doc" Smith, but with the Marvel sense of humour permeating it all.
After this, we went back to our layby — finally realizing that it is overlooked by the Westbury White Horse that we visited a couple of weeks ago! Tonight for a movie, we opted for an oldie but a goodie —
Bell, Book and Candle, from 1958, with James Stewart, Kim Novak, and Jack Lemmon.
Distance driven — today, 24 miles ( 39 km ); to date, 8,034 miles ( 12,930 km )
