Birthday Girl.
Born March 27th 1959. So today was, yes, that big birthday no one is allowed to mention. Like Macbeth on stage never mention the M word or the big 6-0 today. That said it is Julie's special day so anything she wished to do was possible. Thus after a lovely sleep in the hotel, we headed off to Rumwell Farm Shop just south of Taunton. Pushing a big breakfast over the threshold, with the day more clement than clement, we headed up onto the Quantocks for a perambulation. It was glorious up there, slightly breezy around the knee region, but fabulous. Over two hours we were up there, pretty much on our own, before descending into Nether Stowey and a perusal around Coleridge's Cottage (there's a whole blog there). Julie special day ended with a £9 burger and pint evening at a farm shop near to Nether Stowey, where we chatted to one of the guards on the West Somerset Railway who comes to this Wednesday event every week from nearby Cannington. Most of the other people there were Welsh workers from EDF staying in caravans on the farm site while contracted at Hinkley Point Power Station. I know how to treat a lady !!
