Nothing says you’re back from holiday…

… like a huge pile of washing!

We don’t have a tumble dryer so one of the joys of hiring a cottage is usually being able to use theirs to get most of our washing done before we leave. Unfortunately, the dryer where we stayed didn’t work so I did three loads of washing when we got home this afternoon and there are now wet clothes hanging from every possible hangy-place but they’ll all be dry in the morning so all’s good.

In contrast to our journey up to the Lake District, there were no problems on the motorway and we got home really quickly. Our neighbour looked after the kitties brilliantly but, even better, she commented on how much weight I’d lost. Amazing what walking 15+ miles every day can do… although I suspect I won’t be able to keep that up!
