Sunday 16th September
We spent a great deal of Sunday training for the famous Dick Turpin Sunday night pub quiz. Tess had surreptitiously left a sheet of famous faces to identify in an attempt to get us focussed. This ploy worked well and kept us occupied through Sunday morning. The quiz team camped next to the bar and was completed by Monica, Nick and Nicky. A nervous team captain, under extreme pressure to control his novice team, gave us our final instructions and then the action began. At half time we were ahead by 4 points. Was it enough? The captain had serious doubts. A few wobbles crept in after half time, and the captain’s confidence began to drain away. The final score was announced. Main rivals 78: Us 79. A famous victory!!! Crisps all round.
Monday and Tuesday 17th&18th September.
We travelled South down the M1 arriving in Bromham, Bedfordshire, our home before we emigrated to Australia. George and Pam our neighbours looked after us grandly. We had dinner at the Green Man, Lavendon on Monday and lunch in the Royal George, Stevington on Tuesday. During Tuesday morning we had a short visit into Bedford and checked that The Swan still survived on the river and by the river – see photos.
