Adrian (
london1952 ) and Richard (
bazanges /aka Ricardo) left early this morning for Stansted airport and then Limoges.
Richard has a lovely farm/house which he has been repairing for a number of years. It's almost in the middle of nowhere!
Ricardo doesn't drive and Adrian does - and they both love gin: hence...
They got there safely.
I'm at home and am tired as I only had a 3-hour sleep last night.
We had a power cut at 1:15 am; I walked up slightly later and I could hear drilling. So I had to go out to check and saw two vans in the middle of the street. The engineers were working a few doors up from us.
I also rang the power cut emergency number and they confirmed that they were repairing a fault.
I went back to bed but couldn't fall asleep. The power came back at around 3 am but sleep didn't for another half an hour, until after I got up to reset the alarm clock. (we had another 2 going - battery operated - yes I can be that paranoid!)
Adrian got up at 5 am and I woke up as well, and got up to kiss them au revoir and wish them bon voyage!
