I’m just back from a short (wet) bank holiday break in Gloucestershire. 
Whilst wandering around Wotten-Under-Edge looking for the Town Hall (where tea and cakes were being served) I spotted this competition in a travel agent’s window.

I don’t think my tale of a wet bank holiday will be a winner – but maybe you’ve been somewhere more exciting?

Well, in some people’s opinion I live somewhere exciting!

That’s true, Liz – maybe now is your moment!

Thanks for that Sally, and hopefully there will be less entries that some competitions. Will bookmark it and have a go. Shame about the weather, and you never know….

I think you’re right about less entries – good luck with yours!

But did you find the tea and cakes?

Talking of tea and cakes and wet Bank Holidays, I was wandering around Leamington Spa that day whilst my husband was bowling there. I had tea and cake for £1 in All Saints’ Church and then listened to a fantastic (and FREE) organ recital there. A wonderful (and cheap) way to spend a wet Monday morning.

Yes, we found the tea and cakes, Angelique – but I think it was £2.50. So yours in Leamington was a bargain! I hope you had more than one.

It was quite a large piece, home-made too, but I only had time for one piece before the start of the recital. I did take my husband back the following day though!
