On the 29th, alternator newly fitted and working well and the weather just too lovely (finally!), we stayed put in Heyford. Clare paid us an overnight visit, taking in the news that we can happily share food and board with one other. We had a great time, even though Josie was horrible to Twix (will surprise no-one who knows our Jose). Apparently the blow up mattress is terrific (note - anyone else is welcome!) and the curtains we put up to make an en-suite work really well. After breakfast at Kizzies the next morning, we headed north again while Clare made her way to collect children from Australia and Costa Rica.
These are just a few views from our travelling. Elizabeth stayed below much of the time, doing domestic things. Changing a bed while watching changing scenes out the windows each minute utterly transforms domestic tasks. Seeing new landscape pass gently like a quiet film while washing dishes makes the washing up fun. Watching new clouds, different trees and passing boaters while looking up to think while writing letters is heaven. Moving transforms. And Pete? He handled tiller, camera, smokes, map and drinking water. He is collecting photographs of bridges over canals. Ask him.
