The fog never really lifted today meaning we had to alter our plans. We had intended to cycle into Stroud to buy cheese from the Shambles Market (we often do this fortnightly). I made an effort around midday but the fog was really dense around Frampton Green so decided to play safe and returned home. So it was jobs around the house and some writing till settling down to watch some cricket from South Africa this afternoon which was good!
