Buses

I went up to Brecon the other day, and I asked the bus driver what had happened to the bus shelter on the Bulwark. Apparently a National Express coach ran into it! So presumably there will be a replacement at some point.
The Talgarth Relief Road is now open, meaning that traffic for Abergavenny no longer has to negotiate the tight bends in the middle of Talgarth, and the old mill is now safe from the car transporters and other lorries that used to smash into the front of the house with depressing regularity.
And there is a new bus timetable coming into force on Monday. It's going to take a bit of time to get used to, especially as some buses will be 5 minutes earlier than they are at the moment - so the 10 o'clock bus to Hereford is now going to be the 5 to 10 bus. On the other hand, some buses will be 5 or 10 minutes later - so the 5 past 10 bus to Brecon will now be the quarter past 10 bus. One good thing is that the first and last buses of the day, which had been dropped on Saturdays, will now run on Saturdays as well.
When I went up to the Tourist Information office to pick up the new timetable, I passed Joyce from the Wool and Willow shop, having a hot chocolate in the Sandwich Cellar - before she went home. The weather is dreadful again, and there's no-one about in town unless they really have to be.
