Oh dear, breakfast this morning served with green mould on the marmalade.

Weston Rhyn (1h 59m)

Todays adventure was to visit Weston Rhyn, which was once part of the ecclesiastical parish known as the Lodge. This is an ancestral area which had taken me years to locate. I spent my time wandering around the village, studying the architecture, bumping into a couple of residents to whom I gave a lecture on the history of their village. I think they were glad to get away.

Oswestry (2h 27m)

The next adventure for the day was wandering around Oswestry. It took me ages to find “The quadrant”, another ancestral home. Again its not on a modern map, but I managed to locate a butcher who still quoted it in his address.

Dinner at the Little Chef, where I remembered to turn my SatNav back on.

Finally back to the B&B, where I found a note “Couldn’t clean your room, we have lost the spare key”.

I fancied an evening walk and near the B&B was a road sign pointing to a waterfall so I tried to find it. I had to turn back after an hour as it was much further than I had thought.
