And They're In

We're now in the new gaff and it is much more to our liking. Again, it must be stressed that the previous place was fine, only that it was too far out of town and it seemed like we were located in the middle of a farm. Dogs barking, cockerels crowing, frogs croaking, crickets chirping, birds tweeting and then the building site kicked off next door.

And although the room was plenty big enough, it was a bit dated, with wicker furniture and 1970's style glass topped tables. Oh, and the bathroom was missing essential things like a sink that wasn't blocked and a shower that actually pushed water through the head and not directly into the bath- the hose had obviously come adrift and they had simply pushed it back into its housing. At the first sign of water pressure, the pipe simply fell off and water gushed out.

Oh well, we're out of it now and we've landed firmly on our feet. Not only is it cheaper by eight bucks a day, but the cable package has more film and sports channels (we've just finished watching the Donington MotoGP), but the room is quite delightful, we have wi-fi broadband which seems great and means we can both surf at the same time and the shower is a stand alone affair- which works.

More later as we're off now to get some food supplies in and stock up the fridge. :o)
