Woke around 0715. Got up and made tea. Aki watered her plants while I made porridge. Packed some stuff and headed for the car. Got away around 0900, making for the M4 via Acton. Stopped off at Leigh Delamere services to grab a coffee, then drove on to inspections in Chepstow and Caldicot. Had lunch at Groes Wen Inn in Penhow, then drove into Llanmartin to pick up where I'd left off on Friday. Ended in Duffryn, then drove north to the Premier Inn in Cwmbran. Checked in then headed back to the car and drove to the characterful village of Usk, from which the river gets it's name, or vice versa. The Romans built a fort there, and there's the remains of a Norman Castle. Had my dinner in the Nags Head, which advertised itself as specialising in home cooked food...had the rabbit pie with mash and turnip...very tasty. Took a turn round the village, stopping on the bridge to take a photo of the river. Then drove back to the hotel and did some work on the laptop. Aki phoned...she'd been watching the Tory PM debate...the bits I saw on the news looked far from edifying! Who votes for these people!? Hope I get off to sleep OK...the hotel is hard by the railway line!
