The forecast this morning was
for rain and the weatherman was correct for once. As the day progressed we had
some heavy rain and thunder.
Today we visited Mick’s
cousin, Ann, who lives in a small village called Gotham,
pronounced “Goatam”.
The GPS decided it wanted to
go on the scenic route down beautiful country roads and through lovely villages
which made us ten minutes late in getting there. Why it did that is anyone’s
guess as there are perfectly good dual carriageways to drive on.
Ann, who is recovering from
bowel surgery, looked well and was very pleased to see us. We had a very nice
visit lasting about 3 hours and had a great chat about just about everything.
After taking a few pictures
we bade her farewell and raced down the road to the car in the pouring rain.
As Lyn was planning a nice
dinner, we were pleased when the GPS decided the dual carriageways were the way
to get home and we were back there in no time so she could start. We like to
keep the landlady happy so she may invite us to stay again!
It rained all the way home
but it did not spoil a very nice day.
Perhaps you should check the ROUTE SETTINGS on your GPS. Most have several options such as SCENIC ROUTE, SHORTEST, QUICKEST, AVOID TOLLS ETC.
