Away In A Manger

I'll be going away to Kent for the next few days now - lots of exciting meetings lined up, including one in 3 hours... Hmm, 3 hour drive, currently sitting in Cheltenham... oops. I'd better ring ahead...

A Nando's opened in Cheltenham just before we moved here, and it's right opposite the new cinema, so sometimes we'll go over there for a Nando's followed by a film.

However, I would find it hard to justify going to Nando's for lunch every day, much as I would like to, so you can imagine my delight when I ...
