This week we have been on our holidays for the first time since 2019. We hired a van and drove down to visit my family in Norfolk. It was far more comfortable than rattling for more than 500 miles in the old Landy. We had a couple of scorching hot days, followed by some unusually heavy rain. We did our usual thing of rummaging in junk shops but did not find many exciting things. Mostly we just sat around in the garden and Nessie enjoyed barking at the passers-by in her Dundee accent.
Instead of heading home at the end of the week we drove down to the New Forest to visit cousins whom we have not seen in 16 years. It was lovely to see them and have the children’s heights updated on their kitchen wall. We went into the forest to see the sunrise just before 5am but it was misty and murky. It did not really matter as we had taken thermos flasks of tea and coffee and it was fun anyway. There are more forest based activities planned for the rest of the weekend and Nessie has been amazed at encountering wild ponies...
