From a soggy Wales

Free WiFi and Starbucks.   Old style cross the motorway to get your food.
IMG_7836   IMG_5842
Early enough to still be quiet on the roads.   Full English for £1.99 with a 4sq special.  Toast and coffee extra.
IMG_7840   IMG_0272
Arrival – early by 90 minutes.   Angry but not raining clouds.
