Greetings from Thaxted

Well if yesterday was living in a fairytale...Today is like a film set.  Thaxted is s strange largish village with higgeldy piggeldy buildings buildings warped by the centuries...As are the locals.  I half expected Simon Peggy to come screaming around a corner chased by zombies (Shaun of the Dead) lol.  This morning though... Definitely a scene from Fawlty Towers.  Breakfast was advertised from 7 onward.  So at a decent 7.30 the Badger and I toddled down. Found we had been locked in... Yikes so after pressing the button on the door... Assuming it was a security thing... We let ourselves into the dining room... Blarpblarpblarp!!eeeorreeorrr! Alarms left right and centre!!! We scooted back upstairs quick sharp and looked pleadingly out the window awaiting help...1/2 later the deafening racer was still blasting away... No doubt awakening the whole village... Yet not a soul to be seen.  Finally a couple of bodies appeared and rescued us.  Very very blurry eyed young individuals obviously nursing heads...also obvious that these were also the culprits partying on outside until dawn...arhhhh the sweet smell of revenge! Hehehe.  Breakfast was indeed delivered Basil Fawlty style.  What a hoot! Sorry Badger though...even with the comedic value... 5/10 for this one. The door to the rooms needed a sign....'guests will remain in their cages until the zoo keeper arrives ' lol
