Traditionally the end of a holiday is a time for
reflection. When one looks back on the holiday it high and low points while
looking forward to life back at home, in this case the English winter.
Well the holiday has done what we asked of it being
extremely restful. Firstly the weather has been magnificent. Hot sunny days
followed by slightly cooler evenings. The cottage that we rented is beautiful
and very comfortable. With a wrap round porch it has been ideal for outdoor
living. The surroundings despite having other houses close by have been very
peaceful. So we have had the opportunity to undertake lots of reading. I have
completed my NYMR signalman’s exams although I am still waiting for them to be
marked. I have made a start on my university reading. There has been plenty of
opportunity for quiet walks. Marion looks very brown and relaxed.
We have eaten great seafood; Marion declared the
calamari that she ate tonight as the best of her life. I had crab cakes
followed by a very tasty lobster roll. We also discovered that Long Island
produces very respectable wines and some interesting beers.
It was great to see Karin and Rob last weekend and
enjoy their company along with some challenging arguments.
So we will travel home refreshed ready for a busy
autumn.
