Last evening, after arriving at the London inn, I found some news paper to get my shoes dry for today. I hate starting the day in wet shoes. This pub is not serving dinner, as apparently the owner is away, so I walked a minute up to the next pub. A bit of a posh pub, but the sea bass fillets,boiled baby potatoes with local greens and clams was quite tasty. I was able to sit out doors as the weather had completely settled and the sun was shining. Wasn’t very warm, as there was a chilly wind blowing. Everyone else was inside, which puzzled me. Back to the inn to stack some zzzzzs. This morning,when I walked into the breakfast area,I noticed some well dressed business looking dudes looking me up and down. Maybe they thought I should have ironed my singlet. Stiff.I only ate half my breakfast of sausage, bacon, fried eggs, that have very pale yokes. Can’t wait to get back and eat fresh farm eggs. Also had some baked beans and black pudding, toast and tea. I need to eat less. I suppose I do burn it off. At least it keeps me going all day. And sometimes,unless you walk off the trail, there is nowhere to get anything. That’s ok,I have my trusty thermos, that’s all I need. The bus ride was only ten minutes, and I left most of my kit behind as I’m back at the inn tonight. It hadn’t rained at all over night as the roads were bone dry. I alighted the bus with great enthusiasm, wondering what the day would bring. It didn’t take long. Once I left the road and headed up a steep hill,I realised my enthusiasm had started before I left my room.I walked out without my walking poles. Damn.I have a light pack, so I’ll be fine, besides, I’ll lose a couple of hours if I go back now. And then it started to rain again.  And the rain was heavy. Amazing,maybe walk at night. My walking speed went down to a snail’s pace in some sections, as slippery slopes were hard to navigate without sticks. By the end of the day, I was pretty much drowned and tired, didn’t get as far as I would have liked to. Shit happens. I’ll leave earlier for the next few days to catch up, as I am on a time limit, and I have my accommodation to consider. Tomorrow morning I have over an hour bus travel to get to my starting point. I’m having Indian tonight. I just walked past on my way back to the inn and smells delicious. Need to get my shoes dry again. Hopefully better weather tomorrow 😌 🙏. Not many photos today. Can you believe it?I opened the window when I got into my room, and the sun is out.
