As regular readers of my blog may be aware I visited the Cotswolds this weekend via a very reasoably priced coach trip, accompanied by my friend Emma. Here are some of the high and lowlights of the past few days:
Highlights:
- The toilets at Thurrock Services were both plentiful and spotlessly clean
- Burford had a charming river and I managed to purchase a green crochet tea cosy in the shape of a toad for Mother
- The matching bed linen and curtains in the hotel room
- Friday night's dinner - chicken casserole with a selection of vegetables
- Ron the coach driver's rendition of 'Rhinestone Cowboy' at the 'entertainment night' on Saturday evening
Lowlights:
- The constant rain on Friday which seeped into my chips
- Being squashed by the selfish person in the coach seat in front of me's reclining seat; remonstrating with him and being called 'a boot ugly despot' in response
- Being splashed with disgustingly smelly stagnant water by an angry penguin in Birdland
- Emma for 1) snoring loudly and 2) stealing the last teabag in the hotel room
- Ron the coach driver's lewd comments about his former career as a male stripper conveyed to a shocked audience after his fifth whiskey
- Ron's sausage related banter at the breakfast table
Apart from that, I must say that I enjoyed my weekend immensely and am planning to book another trip with another company after I've penned my letter of complaint to Ever Ready Ron's Coach Tours Ltd.
