The beginning of our August bank holiday weekend got off to a sad start as our guinea pig Mushroom very suddenly fell ill and passed away just a couple of hours before we were due to leave. The plan was originally for me to pick Helen up from work (as she was working the Saturday), then get something to eat in Manchester and get on the road early. Instead, we went home to say goodbye to Mushroom first, then ultimately decided we should still go away and have a good time to remember her. So we dedicated this holiday to Mushroom.

Ironbridge and Blists Hill Victorian Town

Accommodation: Mercure Telford, Madeley Court

Another late arrival on a Friday night due to work commitments found us in Telford at around 10pm. The hotel itself looked beautiful, but unfortunately that’s the only good thing about this hotel. We checked in to our room, which was perfectly adequate, then went to get a drink from the bar before bed.

Visiting Robin Hood in Nottingham

Continued from Part 1…

On the Sunday morning, we decided to take a quick drive in to Coventry for breakfast, seeing as how poor the Ibis breakfast was; we stopped off at The Earl of Mercia, a Wetherspoons in the centre, not far from the cathedrals. The breakfast here was much better than at the hotel, very filling, preparing us for the day ahead!
