Wye Valley camping Day 3

Today was the first day of July and it started off beautifully (except for the earache and vomit in the wee hours).

Here is the breakfast scene in front of the lavvo.

 We packed up camp just as it was starting to rain again. I HATE that because it means we will have to set up all the tents again and let them dry out once we are back home again (assuming the sun comes out at some point). So that wasn't too good. But then we went to play for a little bit more at the Brockweir village shop again. And then we convoyed up the road to Symond's Yat (East) to meet Nain and Taid and have a grand Sunday dinner together. Nia had thoughtfully made reservations at the Saracen's Head Pub but we had a bit of a job to get there! First we ended up on the West side of the river because we thought it didn't matter since a hand ferry went across the river. But there were mean "No Turning" and "No Parking" signs on the very narrow residential lane we found ourselves on, so we had to backtrack and find the correct way to this place. We all laughed when we passed a road sign that said "DO NOT USE YOUR SAT NAV" because it was a bit tricky to find this place!

Anyway, once inside we had a large table all to ourselves and ordered excellent food and drinks. Yay!

We walked back to the car along the river and said goodbye to everyone.

It was sad to say goodbye to everyone but it had been SUCH a great weekend. Thank you to Nain and Taid for driving all the way down to meet us, too! From here we drove straight back to Sussex and arrived around 8pm to get a good night's sleep before Monday.
