I had forgotten what it felt like to go from Auckland to London, to add on a few hours of public transport, and then try to function. It just doesn't really work. The body that is. So very powerfully wants to be sleeping in the afternoon, and wide awake in the night. Really boring to read about - I know - but it has been a while for me since I have done the long one without a break and now I remember why it is such a good idea to break it up...
I'm staying at the Speech House Hotel in the Forest of Dean. I have had three work meetings with local disability providers and commissioners as they call them here - local Councils who purchase services in the same way that the Ministry of Health does at home.
Shortly I'm off to a local pub with my host Bob - for live music.
Cool hotel. I am reminded of Fawlty Towers somehow, antlers and all. The name of the patron would not be Sessil by any chance? ;-)

Enjoy the Forest of Dean (was that were Robyn Hood roamed?)
