Himself has set course east. For reasons known only to himself mind. Each time I ask, the answer shifts slightly. No doubt at some point he’ll tell me it was my idea… Luckily this takes […]

2026 Day 5 -Barrington Court
Daylight comes with a side order of recalcitrant acceptance. So it won’t be Europe. Hopefully Himself will make good his promise to take me back to Italy another time – after all, the first trip […]
2024 Day 104 – Knightshayes
A repeat experience at the garage this morning – closed, no explanation. The business next door is open though and they suggest perhaps they’ve taken a week off for the start of school holidays. Possibly. […]

2019 Day 118 – Buscot Park
In a fabulously good bit of timing, we’re in Oxfordshire when both the house and grounds of Buscot Park happen to be open. Despite it being a National Trust property, Buscot Park is still very […]
