49p for the baguette and £1.49 per plate of mussels in white wine and onion sauce.
No need to microwave them just stick in pan and simmer
Lidls is the answer to your question

We had a short wander around Hereford this morning. It was supposed to be a longer walk but the riverside path we chose was closed on the edge of the town.
Outside Hereford Cathedral is the Knife Angel. Made from 100,000 confiscated knives it is an impressive sculpture. If you just look at its body you might question the 100,000 figure but look again at the wings. They are made of blades only - and a lot of them.
It's been here a month but is being moved on to somewhere else next week. More info can be found here:

The Black and White House appears on tourist maps so we had to have a peek.
The view from this angle was spoiled by a cow in the way. I've no idea why it's here. Hereford has nothing to do with cattle.

Taken on the dog walk last night, when I looked at the picture on my phone, I thought it could have been taken in the jungles of India, not in deepest, darkest Cumbria ?

Lovely pictures, reminds me of working as a medic on the tall ships event in Sunderland three years ago.
Now making our way through England on way north, stopped over in Hereford, now having a wee wander round Ludlow.

..... and now for something completely different!!
My off the grid experience in a car park.
The weird thing is that I'd had a terrible night's sleep dreaming of dead relatives coming to talk to me!!!!

God had some really bad hangovers on that stuff. There's one called Singha Gold......................never again as they say. Brings back some great memories of my many visits to Thailand though.

We had a trip to the Black Mountains yesterday, driving from the campsite at Hereford. The summit on the left is Lord Hereford's Knob. *
In the middle distance you might be able to see the shallow valley of the River Wye. Hay on Wye (bookshop central) is in the middle somewhere. The altitude at this point was about two thousand feet and it was a steep climb up from the car park at the entrance to Gospel Path.
The path has stone flags, Charlie preferred the boggy bits either side of the path. Fortunately, the shower hose is long enough to reach outside through the rear doors so he could be washed down before being admitted.
* Honestly, it really is called that.

Bike trip with a few mates on Friday. Thought I’d better clean it a bit. I’d never hear the end of it if I turned up on a dirty bike.

We wandered back into Hereford today to visit the Cathedral.
A couple of interior shots.
To mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the SAS in 1941 a special stained glass window was commissioned. Named "Ascension" it goes from dark blues at the bottom to lighter hues at the top, signifying a journey from darkness into light.
Below the window is this sculpture.
This being Monday what better day to see the Mappa Mundi? Housed in a building beside the Cathedral the Mappa Mundi is the largest surviving medieval map of the World. The word Mundi means World but Mappa isn't what you might think. It just means "cloth" so the name translates to "Map of the World" although being drawn on vellum even that isn't quite right.
It's not like any map we might use today. Jerusalem is in the centre and west at the bottom, north on the left.
This reproduction might be a bit easier to read.
The Straights of Gibraltar are at the very bottom. Above it stretches the Mediterranean. The big triangle is Sicily and above it Crete within which the circle depicts a labyrinth. The British Isles are at about 7:30 o'clock in a sort of foetal position. Ireland is on the rim and Scotland, Wales and England can be made out.
In the same building as the map is the Chained Library with over 200 ancient books secured by chains. I looked hard for the Hogwarts' Bumper Book of Spells but couldn't find it.

Edit: That should be "Cloth of the World" not "Map of the World". :l

My late afternoon walk.....started near here
then I fancied one of these and a bit of people watching
On my way back I followed an old railway line
and finally a look back at the village I had been to before the last section of path back to site.
Any one know where I am? Im sure many of you will.
