An image of Marlborough at dawn. It is a very pretty town, but difficult to take photos of. I often think that it would be nice if the centres of many lovely Englisch towns and villages were made car-free. I am now sitting in "The Green Dragon", waiting for Baggy to pick me up so we can go on to Bath, where we are booked into a B&B for the night.

And his ashes are buried at the beautiful graveyard of St Mary church. I came here to pay him a visit as I always do when I come to England. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place.

My father was born here in 1929. In one of these houses.


The bakery. Isn't it lovely?



The post office and the traditonal stone masons that unfortunately had to close a few years ago.

Great Bedwyn. I caught a bus to Marlborough, had tea and a slice of delicious Victoria's Sandwich at Polly's Tearooms and then got on a bus to Great Bedwyn, which is a delightful small village.

Temple Meads train station in Bristol. A very nice old building. And the black cabs are blue here. I accompanied Sabine to the airport, took a bus back to the city centre and then got on a train to Swindon. I was expecting to meet Baggy there at about 15:00, but that didn't work because she and my sister missed the ferry from Calais and would be arriving late.
