As you may recall I started the journey with a slight case of the trots, so I lived in fear for the first day and a half. Regular visits to the pubs allowed me to take safety farts in the toilets so as not to require the walk of shame back to the rented house for a kecks change.

Went to York for the weekend with some friends. They've had a bit of rain it seems, we had a bit of trouble getting close to the city due to whole roads shut by massive floods. Second picture down (if it doesn't do its usual trick of changing the order) shows a line of bollards where the road usually is. The opposite bank's road has disappeared altogether.

My mum found out she had a secret sibling somewhere in the UK. She told me she remembers her mum going away on a long holiday at the end of the war, so probably an American soldier was involved. She also found out she had a Greek step brother in Cyprus when her parents wills were sorted out after they died out there a few years ago.
