On our holidays - "staycation"! Night number one... the local Travelodge! Evening meal at the restaurant across the way, and breakfast via packet in the morning.


 Night number two... the local Premier Inn (newly opened)! Evening meal inside the Premier Inn in their own restaurant, and an 'all-you-can-eat' breakfast in the same restaurant. Such fun... we like simple pleasures!

 To top the hols off... a visit to Ikea of course! A wander, meatballs and chips, icecream out of the vendor... and Starbucks around the corner for a frappucino!
