Left in fog for a few hours before it started to clear. Qite low lying land and swampy, shoulders of the road very soft and out of bounds.Quite a bit of roadworks about, generally 'self controlled' so everybody is generally accomodating, although mrplod lends a hand occasionally.
had lunch at another old vilage which seemed full of old homemade farm machinery. Geof R had had his classic Saab repaired here in 2007.
However there was good gear hiding of out working, huge grain crop this year. Lunch down the road.
Nasty car crash-under a large truck, no survivors. jUST slat !.

Today's now monday so we snook out in V's L/R and went shopping and yes found a hat but too big. Did road battle to next mall, veryyyy flash, and at 50% discount got a loverly straw for RR575. We then went to another mega centre and fought the traffic and one-way system back to the Ibis.
Got jessie on the Skype for an hour, so good..
