Last heard from them in London, where it's been raining on their parade.
Shame, April here was dry, sunny and warm.
Right now cool, very windy, showery.
Aussies arrive here tonight. I am told their names are not Bruce and Sheila.
:wink:
Great excitement here! I've been detailed to wash the front step and buy the wine and beer.
They're here till Sunday, will do a bit of travelling about from here (York, Liverpool, Manchester) and we're having a party here on Saturday with a few other folks coming round.
Wish us luck!
(as I was typing that, Bruce phones me from Penrith! All is well, they're heading southward through the Lake District today)
An update on my story, which caused such widespread apathy.....
Our 2 Australian guests left for the south this morning. They, and we, had a nice time seeing a variety of different places in this locality. Weather was fine, warm and sunny for the most part. Our meal last night was in a Spanish restaurant, with 10 at the table, and much wine and beer was shifted. G'day.
