Made it to Hereford. The route there avoiding the motorway goes via Ross-on-Wye where I bought a skirt and a book in one charity shop and another skirt in a second charity shop. In the first I had a nice chat with the woman at the till. She said she was hoping someone would bring in a skirt like the one I bought but in black and said it was difficult to find things she liked in black. We had quite a discussion after that because I said I had the opposite problem that finding colourful clothes that fitted was difficult. She said she was trying to branch out a little and pointed at her camouflage waistcoat. We agreed that people should wear hats more and discussed our favourites, mine being my wide brimmed red and hers being a top hat or a beret.
She said my face was the right shape for wearing hats.
Total cost for two skirts and a book: 2.25 GBP!. That's less than it's cost me to park my car here in Hereford.
Now I'm in the cathedral café having a pleasant brie and broccoli salad and a reasonable mocha.
Very fast WiFi. Pictures of the cathedral later when I unload my camera.
