Friday 3rd April near Guildford

I left my nice little shoebox - probably more a bootbox - and caught the bus to Waterloo station and then the train to Guildford where John’s cousin met me and drove back to her home. I met her new ( since I was last here in 2002) husband. We chatted over lunch and then went for a walk through woods, down laneways, over fields, through many gates. It was a bit misty but perfectly still and there were lovely views. In the evening another cousin and his wife came for dinner – they live on an adjoining property on the weekends. It was a lovely evening, good food, good wine, and good company.
