Reminiscing

Having had a lateish night last night, we didn’t rush this morning - breakfast, showers, household chores and sorting details for our trip filled the morning nicely. After lunch we handed over the open home signs to my daughter and son-in-law’s assistant, who will be responsible for them this weekend, and I popped over to see Mum for a while. When I returned home it was time to pull out the suitcases and other bits and pieces.  The main packing will take place tomorrow.

It was only after supper that I realised I didn’t have a blip, so I took a photo of the cushion cover from the Otago Central Rail Trail from Clyde to Middlemarch that we cycled back in 2013.
