A day at leisure around Weston-super-Mare. We had breakfast, then went for a decent coffee at Coffe 1# which we found while wandering around last night. Then we headed to the now open Pier. We had a cyder in Captain Jack's Bar, very well themed. Then we walked through the arcade to the Scoops ice cream cart. Had a Mr Whippy. We sat on the pier for ages, enjoying the warm sun and cool sea breeze. Eventually we dragged our arses off to gift shop, and walked the length of the shoreline stopping every so often to rest on the seats available. We ended up out the back of the Sovereign shopping centre watching kids playing on the splash pad there. We were inspired to find our own fountain. Which we did, took our trainers off and soaked our feet in the cool water. It was lovely and cold and clear.
After a long while sat there while we dried off, we went back to the hotel to shower and change ready for dinner out at The Regent ( Yates's) and get our table for the England/Argentina match.
Of course we all know how that ended. My ears are still ringing... I do not think we will ever win a world cup again. I was three in 1966 and 60 years later here we are always the bridesmaid never the bride.
We left the pub after it was over. Everyone was so deflated. So we sort of wobbled back to the hotel and crashed out.
Despite the disappointment, we had a lovely relaxed day, we had both done way over our step quota. My foot and ankle were a bit swollen, but a good rest overnight and its fine again today if a little tender.
