Another driving day today. We set off soon after dawn and came across a weird Garmin sat nav failure. Its fastest route takes 7h 22m, and the shortest distance tales 5h 46m, which if I’m not mistaken, is a fair bit faster than the fastest route. We gave up on Garmin, and used Apple Maps…

Christmas Day! After a leisurely start, we walked Flynn along the river below the citadel. Then we returned through town, pausing briefly for Rog to buy himself an almond croissant. On the way back, I “found” an evergreen branch to be our Christmas tree. We started our Christmas celebrations with present opening, blinis and salmon roe,…

Finally the time has come! We’d hoped to leave a week ago, but Rog has now joined the ranks of the old fogies in needing a regular prescription – statins in his case. After the first month of these, he had to have a blood test for liver function, and only if that was clear…

After our night at the pub, we attempted a walk, but it wasn’t very long due to waterlogged and sheep-logged fields. I had an appointment at Whalley Warm and Dry where a very nice man took well over an hour measuring my feet in various positions, and with various different pieces of equipment, before choosing,…

We felt surprisingly beany after a good night’s sleep on Jay’s & Charlotte’s drive. Matters were further improved by us eating Charlotte’s delicious brunch from yesterday, which was quite happy with a reheating. We stopped in Watlington to run various errands, and then drove to Dorchester for a fairly decent dog walk along the Thames.…

We’d been going a bit stir crazy since our trip to Romania, so last Thursday Rog suggested a night out for my half-birthday. This is not an event usually celebrated! We drove over to Whitstable where we found a secluded car park as recommended by Park For Night. Jones was a little big but luckily…

We were early at the port, but weren’t bumped to an earlier boat, so we left Dunkirk at 10 am and reached Dover at 11:30. Now, after a quick grocery shop, we’re back at home, mostly unpacked, and the washing machine is on the first of many cycles. The mega-clean of Jones can wait for…

With only an hour to drive to Dunkirk, we felt a lot more relaxed and slept in a little, which meant even Roger Of Course I’ll Have The Large Wine Pairing Nolan didn’t feel too bad, and I (Half Size Wine Pairing Plus Swerve to Non-alcohol Pairing) felt just fine. After a final shop at…
