Thwarted by the Tea Rooms

Day 46. Today was a struggle after all the mince pies, turkey and general Christmas over indulgence. Clearly the occasional bout of charades is insufficient to keep active over the festive season, so today Andrea and I took our usual Bradford/Avoncliffe/Turleigh route. It was a struggle towards the end as Hartley Farm was closed so the usual refreshments weren't available at the top of the hill, and when we went to our emergency tea room in Bradford, we were turned away as they were expecting a large party and could we come back in an hour? We were thwarted at every turn like the Thunderbirds by The Hood. As I said on day 26 (?), someone needs to open a café in Turleigh. They are failing in their public duty to provide tea and cake to to the occasional passer-by.
