Wednesday 19 June 2013. Nottingham. Muriel and Keith



Fuel usage update.

We filled up with Diesel at ASDA for £1.367 per litre  ($2.20) as supermarket servos are usually cheaper than elsewhere. That equates to filling up at Woolies Caltex or Coles Express in Australia except that diesel fuel in Australia is about $1.54.

On our last tank full, which included a lot of city driving, we achieved  4.72 litres per 100klms. Can’t complain about that.


Morning
After quite a warm night we awoke to a cloudy day which turned very warm and sunny.
We decided to visit Muriel who was the partner of John Lackey, deceased, who was previously married to my mother’s half sister, Dorothy, (deceased). (I think I got that right!).
She didn’t live far from our hotel so the trip was relatively short.
Muriel has a daughter Sue who is living in the USA with her husband and son and also another daughter, Linda, living in Spain with her husband. She also has a son, Andrew, who lives here in Nottingham with his wife two daughters.


She was in very good health and we had a pleasant reunion and took some photos before returning to our hotel as Mick’s friend, Keith, was meeting us at our hotel to say goodbye.

 Afternoon

Keith arrived at our hotel at 1.30pm and we sat chatting in the very pleasant surroundings of the huge entrance area under a huge glass roof for a couple of hours whilst having coffee and sandwiches.

At about 3.45pm, we bade Keith farewell as tomorrow we were leaving Nottingham heading to Gloucester. 
 








Family of Geese outside the hotel. Lyn said they would run away, instead they just about ran Mick over!
