Revolutionary Rants

Terrible bad luck hit some guests this weekend. My friend Angie had come to visit from Ireland and stayed overnight before heading off to Bath and Oxford. She, her little boy and parter has literally just arrived five minutes before when we heard a loud bang from outside. A milk lorry had taken out their car…  And thus the nightmare for her began, trying to sort stuff out with the Irish insurers and manage to continue their holiday. They, eventually after many phone calls and trouble on their part, hired a car and I am now waiting for a national assessor to come and decide if the car will be fixed or written-off. I feel so awful as in all our six years at this cottage no one has had that happen before.

So, we have had a nice but hectic weekend, it was lovely to see my pal but such a shame what happened on their visit. Other than that, my gladioli are through and looking lovely, if bent over like drunken people examining their feet after a battering from the rain. I managed a nice swim yesterday and watched lots of Poirot, too.
