The Weather is a lot cooler today with an autumnal nip in the air. We cycled to Cricklade through Cleveland lakes mid morning to run a few errands at the bank and post office. We decided to have lunch in Cricklade cafe. Julia went for the jacket potato whist I had a full English breakfast - I know, fatty food, not good for the expanding waist line. I am not going to get a good old English fry up with a stewed cup of tea where we're going... so I am going to make ...

A slightly more relaxed day today as we both realise there's no need to rush. We visited Cirencester for a spot of lunch at The Golden Cross in Black Jack street before getting our travellers cheques and last minute supplies. A cooler day today in comparison to Saturdays high of 29.9 degrees - but still unseasonally hot for this time of year.

Just waved goodbye to the in-laws. Went on a long country walk around Somerford common followed by a pint of Pheasant Plucker in the Vale of the White Horse pub Minety, my guess it's strong-issshhh Zzzziderrrrr. I am now having my second pint which is Oyster Stout, a kind gift from Chris Gregg - thank you Chris. Julia is cooking dinner, then we shall plan what supplies we need to purchase tomorrow.

Had a fantastic meal at Mum and Dad Sinclair's - wow mum can cook! It was great to see Nan along with other family members including my sister before we depart. I especially enjoyed standing in the field with Dad and Mark looking for satellites and shooting stars.
