We were originally destined to leave for the Cotswolds on Saturday morning, but after the shock of waking up to the Brexit news, we decided we had the choice of either leaving early or spending the day watching our investments continue to slide down the pan, along with the hopes, dreams and aspirations of an entire younger generation.
In the end, we decided to leave early and commence our mini tour of Little England. We might have to get used to this kind of trip in the future as our British Pounds might not buy quite as many Euros and Dollars as they used to. On the “positive” side we will still be able to visit Wales without swapping our LELPs for Euros. To keep the spirit of this momentous occasion, we had already exchanged our Great British Pounds for LELPs just a few hours before departure. The LELP is our new currency, the Little England Little Pound. The currency itself has managed to retain a remarkably similar look and feel to the outgoing one, it’s just that it’s value is becoming far more compact.
Cirencester Park CC Site…
We finally got underway around 2:00pm for the short journey to the Caravan Club site at Cirencester park, arriving just before 4:00pm.
The site is in a great location and the facilities are fantastic. Everywhere was so clean and the toilets and showers very well appointed.
In the evening we walked into Cirencester, stopping off at the closest pub to the site, the Marlborough Arms for a pint of real ale and then on to dinner at the Black Horse.
Piston Broke ale…
Rather an apt name for a real ale on this day in history…
