It's a bank holiday this weekend so I've booked into a motorway services hotel - grey and boring but, again the usual comfy bed and hot shower is more than adequate. It took me a while to find the switch for the heated towel in the bathroom (had laundry to dry) - it was on the outside wall of the bathroom (the side opposite the towel rail). Go figure.
I did the park and ride into Cambridge, that is such a good service - just make sure you know which bus-stop to take back to your p&r carpark! With my itinerary in my phone, I headed off , found a few interesting bits, see the pic of the sign of the crown hotel, glorious! and then the lowering grey cloud just simply got to me. I'd had enough, here I was in glorious Cambridge, which, according to Lewis, is always sunny, and it was, again, cold and yuk. So I caught the bus back to my dreary (but warm) hotel and veged all afternoon, listening to Radio 4 and knitting. Yes, I know, boring but maybe I needed a break. Tomorrow I'm heading west again to Berkshire and will visit Hatfield House on the way. May even get some sunshine, if the weather forecasters are right. photos later.
