After a good night's sleep with no one in the room above us, we awoke to another overcast day with puddles everywhere so more rain overnight.
After breakfast we packed and found our 2 large and 2 carry on suitcases fitted in the Peugeot 308 SW "Estate Car" perfectly so with Mick having worked out the workings of the inbuilt GPS, we entered the Glemsford address and headed off stopping in a lay by for a quick cuppa about half way through our trip.
As we got nearer to Glemsford in Suffolk, the roads got narrower and narrower and as usual Lyn was breathing in . We arrived at the Cock Inn which sits right on the road so if you walked out the front door without looking you would be likely to be bowled over by a car driving past if there were any!
The ensuite bed-sit was clean and comfortable and as per the description has a flat screen TV which unfortunately is a 320mm rather than 32in.
In the afternoon we went out for a drive around the village which took no time at all. We couldn't find a shopping centre but put the on board GPS through it's paces with a female voice to guide us home.
This evening we had dinner at the pub. Our accommodation is on the same block and just a few paces across a driveway. We were the only guests in the dining room so had really good service.
Off to watch Springwatch.
After our trip today the Trip Computer showed 52.2 miles per gallon out of the 1.6l diesel engine. 5.41litres/100klm
The Cock Inn. Our digs are down the drive on the left

I see your car is the diesel version. Well look at it this way, there is little difference when you are getting 50 plus mpg and no one is concerned if its 50 or 51 mpg. But it is great how these cars have improved on the fuel consumption nowadays. We were happy with half that figure in the 60's but then petrol was 30c a gallon or about 7 cents a liter. Now its $2 a liter. to travel 100km in the 1960's cost about 85cents at 12 l/100 km; now at $2 per liter times 6 l/100 works out roughly at $12 or about 15x dearer, and your income is probably 30x more
