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.…

I said it would be boring from now on, and today is. Sorry. Anyway, “luckily” the weather had turned miserable again this morning, which made us feel better about our decision to come home. We had a miserable driving day too, with traffic blockages on the German motorways, and some random decisions by our Garmin…

We woke to heavy rain and low cloud. Any thoughts of exploring Českí Krumlov and its castle were abandoned, and we decided to head over the border to Germany. The bad weather continued all morning, and the rain only stopped just in time for us to have a peek at the Growing Rock of Usterling.…
