Sitting in the Warwick Southbound Welcome Break while my car charges. Welcome Break WiFi has become irritating, it demands my name and email address every time I visit. I'm fairly sure it used to remember. Moto remembers and gives me a cheery Welcome back Nina.
Today's outfit is a denim mini and nice short sleeved ecru blouse.
Once my car has charged I'll head for the Mulberry Café at Cropredy to see if their avocado toast really is as good as it looked last time I was there.

Do modern students not eat or drink? There wasn't a bar or refectory at Broadgate and there isn't either one here. When I was studying we had two bars and refectories on campus and refectories in each cluster of halls. And CathSoc ran a bar within fifty metres of my hall of residence. I think CathSoc had more atheist members than it had Catholics.
So I had to go shopping The shop across the road from the room is a Premier local shop and they are generally useless for actual food and expensive for alcohol and snacks so I plotted a course to the two nearest grocery shops, about a kilometre away, a Simply Fresh and a BP station with M&S Food. But I had decided that I wanted a pork pie and neither of them had one. So I used the BP WiFi to find the nearest Lidl, less than two kilometres further on. I hadn't walked much today so a half hour walk to Lidl plus another half hour back to my room was reasonable.
I think that both Lidl and Aldi have become pretty much the best British supermarkets. Got a bottle of Chilean Malbec for two thirds of what M&S wanted and Lidl has Melton Mowbray pies so I got one of those, a lump of Somerset Cheddar, a sourdough loaf, butter, tomatoes, and a plastic bowl of reduced price out of date stuffed peppers. Most of that is in one of the fridges in the kitchen.
On the walk I saw a few thins worth taking a picture of.
The halls of residence are in the Pittville district of Cheltenham
Almost at the Lidl. I've never seen a Holiday Inn with a mural before
On the way back I passed through a small green square in which was this dead tree carved into a seat
A few minutes later i was walking cross another 'green' and saw another lion
I think it's going to take these green spaces a long time to recover from the heat and lack of water.
