8th September - Europe Diary

Well our accommodation was like nothing we'd experienced over the whole walking trip.  Everywhere you looked were writings from the bible, pictures telling you to go to church & books questioning whether evolution is fact or fiction.

It gets better.  When we went to bed we weren't really sure where we were meant to go for breakfast.  I'd seen a sign on the back of the bookshop door that said 'dining room' but thought nothing of it.  In the morning we walked into the bookshop & they had pushed some stands aside to make a breakfast table for us in the middle of the bookshop!  Very sweet of them.  They had plenty of great cereals for breakfast that were all fairtrade, including coffee & jams from countries in South Africa.

Pretty wet/cold walk today but a nice easy one without too much climbing involved.  When we arrived in Richmond we were a bit overwhelmed by all the cars & noises.  Big town compared to the last few.  Still only like 15,000 people though.

Made it to Easby Cottage & got treated like king & queen.  Coffee, pikelets & crumpets with jam infront of the fire with a very friendly and vocal cat that LOVED pats.

Got Indian (Amontola) for dinner, real f'n good.
