We d been driving all day from the Midlands to South Wales. As we approached the village of Laugharne, my mother announced that the landlady at the farm where we were staying was a Mrs Rees.
For some reason, I pictured this Mrs Rees as a cross, thin-faced woman in an apron with a rolling pin ready to bash disobedient six-year-olds like me.
Instead, she turned out to be the kind of farmer’s wife you’d dream of, with twinkling eyes and a lovely soft voice like thick butter. She cooked hearty farm suppers and made the best biscuits in the world.
Travelling around Britain isn’t always cheap. But there are ways you can keep the cost down
Holidays on home soil are likely to be the first we can take this year. Alas, travelling around Britain isn’t always cheap. But there are ways you can keep the cost down.
You can legally wild camp in Scotland and Dartmoor, or stay in a mountain bothy for free (when covid rules allow; mountainbothies.org.uk). And then there’s camping, of course: last year, on a three-day walk from my front door, I paid £7.50 a night, cooked couscous on my stove and spent a fiver on the bus back home. That might not be everyone’s idea of a bargain – some might prefer, say, access to a shower – but I felt I got a lot of experience for my money. And that’s perhaps the way to judge a British break; not on cost, but on value.
