Yesterday was our last day in the cottage after a stay of nearly six weeks; Heather and Ewan set off home after breakfast time and we did some laundry and spruced up the cottage ready for our next visit. It felt very autumnal, there were a lot of leaves lying on the path to the bridge. The weather had been absolutely wild during the night; I’m generally a very good sleeper and even I was woken up at one point by the rain battering on the velux windows. We set off homewards just after half past three and were home by 8 p.m. The cats were quite philosophical about being captured and put into their car cage, and the journey went smoothly. We listened to The Rest is History podcast in the car; firstly the very end of the run up to the 1st World War, and then we started the run up to the French Revolution with Marie Antoinette and the Scandal of the Diamond Necklace. Poor old Marie Antoinette, she had nothing to do with the necklace scam and yet somehow she was implicated.
Back home we put in a washing only to find that the washing machine was broken. My hero James spent hours trying to get different ways to fix it with the help of various YouTube videos, and eventually he found the fault and got it working again. This made us very late to bed and we were exhausted.
