After eventually getting out of Bath we saw some countryside en route to Trowbridge, actually quite a lot of countryside, it seemed to take forever to get there. The never ending journey did eventually complete and after parking up and taking a short walk in to town we found 'The Albany Palace'. We took a couple of photos and then entered in to a large, dark space. We had no trouble finding somewhere to sit as it was not very busy but even so the booth we sat in had not had it's table cleared of food plates and wasn't cleared during our visit. Mrs S. once again opted for a large latte while I ordered a Buffalo Trace and Pepsi. There is a small dance floor with a large mirror ball overhead, although the floor was covered by tables while we were there. It looked as though the place could get a bit lively. Asking at the bar we were told that the 'Sir Isaac Pitman', our next stop, was just around the corner, so drinks finished off we set.

Another drive along roads laden with traffic brought us to Horsham where we parked up and went in search of 'The Lynd Cross'. We had little idea where to start so I popped into a travel agents and asked for directions. Nobody seemed to know where the nearest Wetherspoons was but one lady told us there was "a pub" a short walk away, just head towards the big ball sculpture and you can't miss it. We did and she was quite right, we couldn't miss it and as an added bonus it was the correct pub - result. We had a quick look round inside but ended up sitting outside in the sunshine, me with a pint of Pepsi and Mrs S. with her new favourite, Disaronno and Pepsi. It was a large pub with an interesting layout, but it was to nice to stay indoors. We never did find out what the big ball sculpture was all about. Unfortunately the drive home was fairly tedious as we managed to catch a lot of the rush hour traffic. All in all though, we thought we had made a decent start to our week off.
