I see the Fox has done it again! Pre-empted me. Maybe that just shows how in tune with one another we are. Or how much we're both fretting about the need to locate some accommodation for when the bathroom is being done. Or maybe it's just a case of great minds thinking alike, with ne'er a thought between them.
As you may have read, we're off to the travel agents in the hope of solving the problem. Most of what we've found has been very expensive or places we just don't want to go to. We object to paying over £600 for a cottage in Lancashire when we could go abroad, staying in a hotel with food thrown in for not much more.
Maybe the real consideration is this weekend has just been so grey, wet & windy. The idea of being stuck on a moor in the middle of nowhere, without our usual homely comforts, has little appeal to us. Driving around pretty villages is not the same in the rain. At least going abroad we may find a bit of sun & warmth.
And my, do we feel the need for that! In desperation we're eating curries & chillies to get some warmth from somewhere.
Then, this morning, I hear the honking of geese. I look up into the skies A great W stretches across the greyness, followed by a smaller V. They're heading north. A bit early I would have thought, but maybe be they're just seeking a new place for food before returning southwards for the night. But then they tend to do that in smaller numbers. Whatever their reason I can't say we're tempted to follow them in that direction. We want WARMTH & BLUE SKIES.
