Alarm at 0730. Aki up to ready herself for Rowing Club. I got up and made porridge for breakfast while she watered the plants. She cycled off before 0900. I packed the car and headed out west on the A40. Traffic not too bad. Stopped off in Cressex for petrol and a coffee, then took the A404 down to the M4. Stopped again at Leigh Delamere services and bought some lunch from M&S. Hit the outskirts of Newport around 1330. Stopped in Caerleon to eat my lunch in the car park overlooking the town rugby pitches, and then undertook inspections on an extensive Council estate in Caerleon, before heading to Malpas, and Bettws.
Checked in at the Premier Inn at J24 on the M4...been there before. Drove back out to Caerleon and had dinner at the Priory, and sat out back in the lovely, mature garden with a beer. Took a turn around the town, then drove back to the hotel to watch the England v Spain Women's Euro quarter-final. It was good...terrific goal from Georgia Stanway to win the game in extra time...a strike worthy of Bobby Charlton!
