Duck soup.

Today was a travel day.  We left sunny Glasgow behind and headed south, taking the train to Birmingham and then Cheltenham Spa, where  Longshadow  and Aliscotia picked us up and drove us to their lovely new home in Bourton. 

The train journey from Glasgow was very strange.  We had reserved seats and were sitting at a table with 4 chairs.  Opposite was a complete stranger who also had a reserved seat.  We got talking to him and he had just finished chemo treatments 2 days before.  The strange part was that as we got talking we realized that he had a cousin who lived in Tomball, Texas where we live and that I worked with (and knew) his cousins wife.  The even weirder he knew and had worked with Texann's dad.  Bizzare co-incidence.  I will let Texann do the story full justice in her blip.

When we arrived in Bourton we just had time to pop out for a coffee and a cake before dark and needing a blip for the day I decided to go swim with the ducks. 

We then had a great meal prepared by Aliscotia and got to catch up on the goings on either side of the pond.
