This was a few miles south of Abergavenny so I’m hoping everyone who blacked out reading this post just because it contained the word Abergavenny will read this one and be activated like a sleeper agent. Abergavenny send me money

“Is it raining?” Dr Glass shouted out of the tent to the children, who were playing under an especially mossy tree.

“We don’t know,” they called back.

“How do you not know?”

“Water is falling on us. But it could just be THE SNAIL.”

“I can explain that,” I interrupted, and showed him this picture.

This is THE SNAIL, which when you go underneath it, drips on you.

#Abergavenny in my experience has one notable thing about it #they have a Turkish restaurant there where we stopped to grab some food specifically because reviews said they could cook gluten free #so we asked for a plate of gluten free food and they acted like that was normal #and then came out and gave Dr Glass a plate of what appeared to be a normal rice pilaf #upon eating was a thin layer of rice concealing a lot of bulgur wheat #the mortifying peril of having to Say Something #I spent way too much time making a Biological Identification of the grains because of the mortifying ideal of saying something #and they were like oh. our bad lol.#HMMMMM.#like there are places in the farthest reaches of Anglesey that serve gluten free crepes cooked by angels for some reason #Anglesey!!#even Aberystwyth manages GF fish and chips #but Abergavenny remains in my memory as a place where they listen carefully to your request to not have something and then serve it to you.#we can’t afford to eat out much so it just makes me madder.#this is why we mostly eat wild garlic and lurk.
