7th October 2013 - Spouse Retrieval...

After a few days of sickness, the long drive down form the North following the successful Pennine Walk was a lot to ask of anyone who is fit and well, let alone exhausted and suffering from a lack of a sense of responsibility at both ends!!!

For Susie, the day started from Edal, but a six to seven hour journey was ahead of her. Still suffering from stomach and sickness. Sadly, stuck with another dog and chickens and no real opportunity to get up North by train or bus or other means there seemed little opportunity to assist.

The best final solution was to borrow my mother's car and drive up the last two hours of her journey, up to Abergavenny / Hereford, near to our party fields and wait for her to arrive. Having completed most of her journey, I was then able to drive the final section, leave the car at a friend's stable where it would be safe, and make arrangements to return for the car in the future.

Better than nothing - that plan was followed, and at 4.20 pm we got home to Llanelli, ready for her 5pm Doctor's appointment.

Doctor's diagnosis??  Food Poisoning. So tests to check the infection / poisoning and a restful few days methinks...

So - little to report other than the safe retrieval of wife and dog - all quietly in their beds - after all they have been used to 12 hour nights out in the Bothy....

In the meantime - my change of profile picture seems to be a success...

Had the copy of the Green One Story recorded in Germany so working upon the edit and hoping to post later.....   Chateau 41 it is then :)
