Well I'm back home again after my hectic week away, starting with our WA picnic, then 5 days with my daughter and 2 grandaughters, then the drive back home. I hadn't realised (and I suppose I should have) that driving distances after nearly 2 years of only doing local driving would be very tiring.

As they all live 100 miles away from us we decided the easiest thing to do was go to them, so Thursday we packed up the motorhome and took off to a rally at Abingdon, a site on the cricket field just by the river Mick took the van and I drover the car (and suddenly realized after a little…
