Beautiful, bucolic Slad - where British author Laurie Lee spent his formative years, much of his later life where he lies at rest today.

Worth a sober Saturday for sure. Found it easier this year with the support of 4 top chums. Bigger group next year I reckon…. The Five Valleys Walk 2023… completed it mate. #fivevalleyswalk @meningitis_now #hiking #walking #walkingboots #hikingboots #22miles #charity #fivevalleys #stroud #slad #brimscombe #pitchcombe #nailsworth #minchinhampton #soakinthebath

Definitely the best pub in #Slad - this isn’t going to make it easier to get a table.

I auditioned for Cider With Rosie in the late ‘60s - could have been the start of a Hollywood career but I didn’t get the part because my brother and I didn’t look similar enough.

‘This is confident, swaggering cooking. You’ll get fed until you can barely walk’

As it's nice, if chilly, spending a couple of hours walking in the #Slad valley. Home of Laurie Lee, who's buried in the village.
