Ha!
MrsMikeIOW bought our annual pass in Wales last year whilst I was going up Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa. She baulked at the £18 entry and decided we could use an annual pass, so paid the £160 instead 🤪

In our defence….we have visited around TWENTY properties since then, so definitely getting our moneys worth.
We make a point of looking places up when on our way anywhere.
Also handy on the IOW for multiple beach visits to Compton, which is a NT car park!
Rumour has it she will renew. After 3 years you get it £30 off….

Not sure if it's still the case but NT Scotland membership was cheaper and the pass is valid in English properties. Some enterprising individuals even joined NT New Zealand which you could do online.

Light lunch of crackers and cheese.

I didn’t bother with breakfast as I was late today so just finished a carnivore lunch. Just fried up some mince and dropped a couple of eggs in. Mug of decaf now with a spoonful of double cream. So filling and satisfying and stops me craving carbs.

Bruce doesn't look happy. Hes on a 24hr starvation because of yesterday's pukey-squirty incident, and hes watching me eat with great interest. By default Geddy is on it as well as I cant realistically keep it all separate.

Chicken and rice tonight to break the fast, which theyll both enjoy.

I'm catching the No 14 bus soon (13:45)

I wonder if the middle aged man wearing a Wild West sherrif's star will be on it today.
I was quite impressed with his 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' ringtone, too!

Nice wander around Lydeard Hill.
Good views out towards Brean and the new Hinkley Point nuclear power station.

Pleasant lunch at the Carew Arms - wild mushroom, garlic and blue cheese ciabatta with skinny fries - washed down with a pint of Black Bear 'Nanook'.
Need a nap now...

Nice to still see some real characters. Not so many around these days.
