We have been assured of "strict supervision" for our next expedition. Oh dear... Miss W quizzed me carefully about last Sunday’s route, and swiftly surmised that our ‘walk’ had been from pub to car.

I tend to cycle through the place rather than Kayak. I particularly like the map shop, and the Swan of course! Worcestershire people really were Worcestershire people in those days John!

I felt that kayaking on icy flood water needed taking seriously so declined with regret. Possibly, much of what we see on telly whenever it floods is because of the many people who are new to being flooded. There never used to be much fuss made in Upton.

Now then - this next it must remain a secret: If it gets out, Lord Elpus is a dead man. Lord Elpus and I were let out today for our Sunday walk without the supervision of Miss Whiplash. We decided on a meeting point; The Dyke End Public House at Reach - so named as it is situated at the end of one of Cambridgeshire's most wonderful features - Devil's Dyke. Sadly - this walk should be filed under your categorisation of a "Super Sloman" in that we never made it out of the pub. We were going to go for a walk - honest we were - but unfortunately the landlord wasn't doing bowls of chips so were were not suitably nourished. That and the fact that it was a bit drizzly outside... and a bit muddy... and they served Abbot and Woodford's Wherry. It is a very foody joint though and very well supported and well worth a visit. Well – What can I say.
