Last time I was here in August there was a deluge on the Bank Holiday. It never rains but it pours as they say - or, it's all or nothing, more like! I told my Aussie mate to pack for five seasons, which should just about cover it.

The jet lag is diminishing, slowly. But the simple tiredness is still there. It's an awfully long way... However, another few days should see it off. That's why we decided on ten weeks over here; you need a long time to make it worth-while!

We have many many plans; whether they'll come to fruition is another matter, but I think Hamlet has a quote about that (as with most things in life.)

Ludlow, a hill fortress-town on the Welsh borders, a couple of bus rides away; the local falconry centre (twice, probably); a jewel-box local garden and an arboretum; the local steam railway; walking up and down the banks of the Severn a little way; my friend's going to London and I might go and visit St Paul's for the first time in my life, and also see Shackleton's lifeboat, but on the other hand, London is a pain; visits to and from friends and a few family members; and going to see a distant relative of my friend's in the Lowlands, from where it should theoretically be easy to get to the West Highland Line and Skye, but, um, we might not be up for it. We are both crocked with ME/CFS and while we'd like to do All The Things, including day trips to Europe if available, we are severely limited as to what we can do. We shall see. Fingers crossed, and all that. :)
