When the Easter break rolled around this year we were still recovering financially from our trip home and the road trip through Ireland. As such we had decided that we couldn't afford to do any trips away, but instead would try and do a small overnight trip somewhere in England that we hadn't been.

Leone let me read your email
Leone kindly passed on your latest travelogue to me, and I found it really interesting. Don't think we will get up t'north of England, though I would have liked to have practised my Scouse. We are taking a fast train from London through to Edinburgh, and will then travel back through the Lakes District to Bangor in Wales. We leave NZ on 13 September, so it is rolling round pretty damn quick! Three nights in Hong Kong (which, I believe, is much like Bluff in that it is a port town) and then to London. Leave from there for a 20 day tour around Europe - about half an hour in each country except for Paris, where we have 45 minutes. (Is Paris a country?) My sister has already decided not to travel with me, because the doctor has insisted I wear pressure stockings, and I have found the white ones that I wore after surgery that have "Property of the Southland Health Board" written all over them. I am not concerned as much with deep vein thrombosis as I am about pushing the lever on the toilet too soon and having some of my small intestine sucked out over the Atlantic. I think I did express that worry to you when you were here, and you assured me that you could travel all the way to Britain non-stop without paying a penny. What a bladder!!! Judy We are missing you at work. Do you have any plans for returning home?
