Off to Bristol today. Well Easton-in-Gordano to be more precise, or rather the Ramada motel as Gordano Services. I'll stay there two nights and take the bus into Bristol on Monday.

A man in Swindon has been pestering me to meet for quite some time and I said I could detour there and be with him by 12:00. As usual the sight of a specific date and time seem to have paralysed him because he has read my last message confirming that I can get to the general area then and that I will, of course, be dressed but has again failed to give me his address. It's very odd.

One of the routes suggested by abetterrouteplanner.com goes past Chipping Camden. Perhaps I should drop at Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop and see what he has to offer for lunch.

I decided I would see how Clarkson's farm shop is doing so after topping up the battery at Warwick Southbound I headed down the motorway to Banbury. I would have visited one of my favourite places, The Art Café in the centre of Banbury, but they aren't open on Sundays.

But when I got to Diddly Squat it was immensely busy. It's so popular that the queue to get in extends all the way round the car park. So I just took a picture
and went back to my car. Even the overflow car park was almost full with about 150 cars.

So I drove on to Chadlington where I found the Café de la Post where I'm having a nice pot of tea and a slice of excellent lemon drizzle cake.
