The Hardy Wench

Following the blistering rejection of their application for “Race Across the World,” Tina and Annie decided to create their own adventure and, on a sunny September morning two young maids bravely set forth from the Hardy country bound for adventures on foreign shores.

Seeking a hearty full English before departing they were disappointed initially by the non appearance of a chef at the first venue (Weymouth Pavilion cafe) so not to be defeated visited the ‘Custom House Cafe,” whilst they were in possession of a chef; sadly he was no longer cooking breakfasts (too late, past 11.30!) Opting for lunch they were told it was too early, (midday onwards!) So instead they made with a breakfast bap which was being served after 11.30!

Onwards to the station and then onto the carriage. Some more refreshments ensued.

Felt a bit more relaxed after this lot and we proceeded to Waterloo. Negotiated the buses with our bus passes and found our hotel which apart from being very near to the station did not have much else to offer. Consigned to the basement I was awoken by what sounded like Flamenco dancing mice who I suspected were after the Malt loaf still in my bag. By morning of course I realized they were not in my room but that of another guest! Despite the extremely early departure 4.45 am it was a relief to be on our way.
