This is where I left off last night…plus a flat tire on the rental car. This morning early the tow truck came and Al and I hitched a ride with hm and the rental ( a Volvo Station wagon) and headed to the tire place 30 minutes away. We enjoyed our chat as we drove along. He had a strong accent and it took a few minutes to be able to truly understand what he was saying.. He entertained us with stories about some of the interesting tows he’s provided over the years. And We learned a new descriptive term - Trolly Lollys… young women with makeup, fake eyelashes,tight clothes and dating football players. Anyway, he made the journey go fast! Then at the tire dealer we started talking F1 racing with the owner and the wait was over before we knew it! After getting the new tire on we headed back to our Air B&B and picked up Susan and Steve and we headed to a little town named Broadway for a pub lunch. 
the Crown and Trumpet. We were the only American accents in the place. It was awesome!!

The staff were friendly and had great suggestions of what we should try. Tonight will be bangers and mash. With a Cotswold Gin and Tonic before dinner and a Victoria Sponge for our pudding.
