I'm too old for all this. Jan needed to be in Windsor on Saturday for someone's surprise birthday party and instead of her going down by train I drove her down on Saturday and went to visit my son and family in Eastbourne for one night.
The small hiccup to a longer stay was that we had to be back to attend a funeral on Monday morning so we had to drive back on Sunday.
Still, my son arranged for my old tennis partner to come for dinner on Saturday night so we had a fun, very boozy late night dinner (with four hours sleep just what you need before a six hour drive home.)
My friend Ivan was laid to rest in a moving ceremony on Monday. I do miss him.
I always feel that funerals reopen the wounds which are only just starting to heal ever so slightly. I'm pleased that your travels were safe.
