Are we nearly there yet?

We've left the building site behind, and along with Cheryl and Ivy we've driven up to North Wales. We'll be dropping in to see Mum tomorrow, who was eighty eight yesterday, on Janet's birthday (she's not eighty eight yet) and our wedding anniversary (yes, everyone forgets). Early August is busy...

The 220 mile drive took nearly seven hours... honestly, I know better than to drive anywhere on a Friday in the school holidays, but needs must etc.

Anyway. We're safely ensconced in a rather nice bijou AirB&B, and Ivy was happy to spend the late afternoon on the beach before we headed back for huge cod and chips. I probably made a dreadful error and failed to put any beer in the suitcase. Ah me.
