After a hearty hotel breakfast, off to Cheltenham for an explore.
We found the wrong bit first, which was populated by teenagers pretending to be football hooligans, because it was local derby day, the fans from Forest Green were in the pub, and they needed to be chanted at and have red smoke bombs set off in their general direction.
It was all rather amusing, but we gave them a wide berth around the one-to-one police marking that was being provided, and took refuge in a couple of shops.
Shortly afterwards I found the sort of second-hand bookshop I rather like, and somewhat over-extended the patience of my friends and my wife by studying most of the stock, before retreating empty-handed. However, I did dash back just before closing and buy twelve rather nice Bond paperbacks (just need to track down the other two to make up the set!).
Dinner back at the hotel, where Nicky and Z had the advantage of being on the side of the table facing out into the rest of the dining room, and happily made up stories about our fellow diners. Also, as will now go down in folklore, at one point Nicky did make a rather unfortunate Google search on her phone, the results of which left her and Z without the power of speech for most of the rest of the evening!
