Having said that, I was up at 7am the next morning as I couldn’t sleep. Great. B & A surfaced at a much more respectable 10 o’clock and we had breakfast before they very kindly drove me to see Avril – a cousin I’ve not seen in almost 13 years when she moved out here. I also got to meet her three kids who I’ve never seen before. And drank a lot of their beer. And ate a lot of their food. Well, what are family for, eh? I have to say I had a great time catching up and it was so good to see them.

B & A collected me just after dinner and – again very kindly – drove me back to Elaine’s. After a cuppa, I crawled into bed at around 11pm.
