My plan is to head to London in 2026 for a few days in Hackney, to visit the V&A East Storehouse. I’m hoping to head back to Llwyngwril to stay at the rail station cottage for 10 days, then stay with my friend Christine in Sheringham for a week. No big Walks. No ferries or rental cars or narrowboats. Just a simple three weeks of day trips, hikes, train riding, and beach walking.
Till then, bon voyedgie!
