Travels with Floozie2

Saturday, 29 March 2008. First day of British Summertime and do you know what, today we could have believed it. It’s been a lovely, sunny day with blue sky and fluffy white clouds. The birds have been singing their hearts out and the lambs around and about bleating for joy! Life feels so good in the sun. It’s heading towards 7pm now and Amanda has just gone back into Floozie2 as she’s getting a chill. Have to admit, the light breeze does not have any element of warmth about it! But I’m making the most of being able to sit out in the late evening sunshine. Brrrrrr

Sat with a gin and tonic and a bowl full of olives and garlic. One part of this delicious combination is good for me, the other not so. Yin and Yang. Does it balance itself out??! Let me live in the lie!
Getting here to Harbury on Friday was interesting. It is only an hour or so from Dudley’s (where Floozie was getting some last minute repairs) and I had decided to take the A roads via Banbury, missing out the M40 motorway. Last minute, I decided I couldn’t be bothered negotiating said roads and went for the motorway option instead. BIG MISTAKE! Within a minute of joining the motorway there was a hold up. Then a sign saying the motorway was closed at a junction miles ahead. DOH! Managed to get off at the next turn-off, had lunch in a service station, then found an alternative route which took us, you guessed it, via Banbury. What should have been one hour turned out to be nearly six. Hey ho. We got here, got set up on this lovely site and settled in.
