Out and About around Abergavenny

[Sunday 26th March]
We were lucky enough to have a whole day where we could just stay in Abergavenny, and didn't have to travel anywhere. Chie really wanted to get out for a nice walk while we were in the UK, and given that Chie would be flying back on Tuesday, this seemed like more or less the last chance to fit that in. So we got in the car and motored over to the Sugar Loaf - a small mountain very close to Abergavenny.

It was a lovely - but tiring - walk on the way up, unfortunately though shortly after reaching the top the clouds burst, and we got totally drenched on the way back down. I seem to have contracted a cold as a result. Still, we definitely got plenty of fresh air!

We popped out again a bit later on, to take a drive over the Blorenge. I was reminded how nice it was for me and Chie to have a car, and be able to go out for a "little run" like this. Of course, having a car is completely impractical in Tokyo, there's nowhere to park it and nowhere really that we'd want to drive to either.

Had dinner with Vera and Robin back at their house, and then spent the evening filled with that wonderful feeling of comfortable tiredness you get after a good walk and plenty of fresh air.
