I love it when the tradesman comes! Not just because of all the wonderful things in his saddlebags, but the stories he tells of the places he’s been to.

And if you ride west, ‘you can hardly take a step without tripping over a hillfort’. That makes him sound like a giant! (Twyn y Gaer Iron Age Hill Fort, Black Mountains, S.
