I’ve been here a week now and it’s been just what I needed. Folks are on great crazy-oldie form, now bickering about choices for dinner, earlier proudly showing me around their joint mammoth effort in the garden; younger brother’s got an Elvis cowlick; weather’s behaved with blue skies in my upturned face; air’s fresh and I’m miles away from any flight paths. Permeated bliss.
And then I tried to watch a YouTube clip and it took a Biblical age to load.
Headed back to London tomorrow.
