I’m going dog sitting near Hay on Wye. Tell me stuff.

How can a ukulele teacher be nice? They're spreading ukuleles. That's like talking about a nice arms dealer.

 

[kebabking]

You know, when you've finished at the Button Museum, you could head down to the Forest of Dean to see the nicest ukulele teacher and his ukulele shop at The Uke Room. You'd have to check when he's not teaching though.

I know danny la rouge seems pretty broad-minded, but that sounds disgusting.

Take this! Matt is one of the loveliest human beings I have ever met, so there.

There's also The Courtyard in Hereford which has some good stuff on, but I would echo the warnings about Hereford and say don't go without an itinerary or phoning ahead to the places you want to go. The main museum/art gallery/library is shut so you'll be out on a limb otherwise

With Hereford (as opposed to Builth/Filth) I'm totally with kebabking. I can usually find something good to say about most places. Hereford? Mappa Mundi. If you can get near it.

There are many better places around there than Hereford.

I’m in Booths. I’m going to spend a fortune.

I meant to ask danny la rouge - but how is Wigtown getting on as Scotland's book town?

I've not been there in years, and I loved being able to flit between bookshops with an ever increasing haul while looking at the sea...

Not been since the 90s tbh, but visiting the area soon.

We’ve come to Brecon today. Or as I think it’s called in Welsh, Araf.

When I first moved here I was sure there was a place somewhere up Brecon way called Aberhonddu.

I was being araf.

 

[danny la rouge]

If you come to Aberhonddhu, get coffee from the Two Dogs. Good coffee, friendly staff, and two dogs!

 

[Maggot]

My main memory of Brecon was getting a parking ticket, as the Morrison's car park had one of those cameras (new thing at the time) that records how long you have been in the car park.

Just struck me "way on high" is a spoonerism for Hay.

Was one of them your sat dog?

No, they belonged to the coffee shop. We have two sat dogs, Ozzy and Pippin. They don’t like day trips. Very chilled dogs.

thank you for posting a postbox, I have remembered I have a letter to post tomorrow

Today we’re in Leominster, where I’m drinking coffee and reading (at the Ready For More roasters), and Mrs LR is browsing antiques shops. And no doubt buying things we don’t have room for.

It’s perfect.

Leominster pronnounced "Lempster"

Mr B's cousin runs one of those antiques shops!

Waves....



I like Leominster. It gets a bit of stick for being the inbreeding capital of Herefordshire, but I like the town square and the gardens around the priory.

danny la rouge - dunno what your timescale is like today, but pop up to Ludlow (20 minutes North on the A49) if you've not been already.... the Rose and Crown is nice - fine with dogs. Unicorn probably does the best food....

I think we’ve probably paid her holiday this year!

Won’t be today: I have to ration my time. But we’re here for another week, so will definitely add that to the itinerary (auto correct suggested “item arsey”, which I like), cheers!

If her name’s Annie we definitely did.

I presume this is a hotly contested title in the county?
