What an exhausting day. My day started with the morning walk for Leia, but then we had to take her to Helen, her dog sitter who looks after her on a Tuesday. That involved packing up her crate and as normal, she was overjoyed to be there. My daughter took her with me and we both were a bit sad as we knew it would be Sunday at the earliest that we would see her again.
After that it was packing, and collecting the Ford Tourneo, that my wife affectionately calls ‘The Party Bus’ for our trip. We drove to collect my mother-in-law but realised that we had left some items at home. Once at the parents of my wife, we had to retrace some of our trip due to traffic on the M25 & M1, but took a detour to get the missing items.
My wife and I shared the driving and we soon got to terms driving it. It was an experience, and one that makes up appreciate our cars. She got the worst of the weather though. Anyway, we are back at the Church Farm Guest House in Wrockwardine after eating a meal at the nearby Pheasant Inn at Admaston. The service is kind and the food surprisingly good (I loved my chicken with potato rosti) but what freaked me out was that none of the staff where wearing face-masks. This was something we are not used to as when eating out on holiday in Devon, and also back in Colchester, staff wore masks.
Now to bed for the wedding tomorrow.
