Bolton Wakes Week, Day 4 Friday 3 July 1925

Charlie dwells on the welcome – and food – you receive when staying at the Bed and Breakfast hostelry in Bala, namely the Bull Bach.  He is particularly fulsome about the loaves of bread they bring to the table, for you to cut your own slices.  (Looking through all that Charlie has ever said about meals bought on the hoof, it does seem that bread and butter and little else formed the main ingredient at all the cafes).  They had a superb final day on their way back to Bolton, apart from a storm in the Wrexham area, and got back home at 9.45pm, about right for Charlie.  He also tells us that for food and lodgings, his four days cost a total of one pound six shillings and nine pence, or put another way £1.34.  Beat that.
