The Ham Nomads

22 Nov 2014. <GB-ENG> Gloucester (Orchard Hotel), Glos —

We have orchids in our room!

Suzie catching up on her journal

A quiet day. It was raining when we woke, but by the time we left the hotel (10am) the sun was out. We went down to Tesco to do a 4-day shop, then to Boots to pick up our 6-month supply of medications, and find out where we can go for that last prescription. Turns out it will be at a private hospital which, conveniently (??) is not open over the weekend! So we will phone them on Monday.

Warren had a bludge in the room while Suzie went for a walk — a good allocation of tasks! Suzie reports that it was quite pleasant outside. We then watched the Scotland-Tonga rugby union match, before Suzie went out for another walk.

We had dinner in the van, then watched some BBC TV — Top Gear, and Tomorrow's Worlds: The unearthly History of Science Fiction. Then bed!

We've characterised this interlude as a holiday from our holiday! We probably needed to chill out for a while!
