Away From it All ??

... well almost ... Friday off work, driving down towards Clun and Church Stretton and mobile goes off ... 'twas "our boys in India", who got short shrift from Mrs Smiffy viz "He's driving" and "He's on holiday/leave". After nightmares on the M6 we got to Clun for a good 9.5 miler before heading over to Church Stretton and the rented cottage. A very relaxing break (Saturday an 8.5 miler over the Long Mynd followed by barbie in the garden, Sunday a 5.25 miler round Caer Caradoc (but not "up it" !) followed by a cracking Bangladeshi meal at the "Jaipur" (hmm ... if you understand the hmm, you obviously did geography as well !!) and today a wander round Hawkstone Park Follies (short but fairly strenuous !) Did someone mention work ?? Checked me work e-mail tonight - nothing stands out as drastic (although everyone WILL think they are the most important thing since sliced bullsh*t !) - we'll see what tomorrow brings ..... can't wait ....
