The Eagle has landed

Just to say that everything went like clockwork - here's Betsy arriving at the ferry port spot on time on Friday - I had stayed in Cuenca for a couple of nights then picked up the hire car on Thursday and drove myself to Gijon - a long trip but lots of fun in a new car on wide Spanish roads - averaging 140k's  all the way - and there was some stunning scenery - through the foothills of the Picos de Europa and through Asturias which is very similar to the UK- rolling fields- the centre of the dairy industry.
Have to admit that I was grateful not to be driving Betsy at one stage -  the rain was lashing down, strong cross winds and hairpin bends - so with the diesel cost being much cheaper maybe this had happened for the best.

After a night in a hotel we met up and we were transported onto the ferry - felt like the queen with the police all rushing around to sort out security and us taking priority - my entrance did make for a conversation point on the trip over. On arrival in the UK I drove off and there was the transporter waiting for me in the car park and by 5.30pm I was meeting Irene at the garage and all home safe and sound.

So now a quiet day, roast lamb for supper- yum, then tomorrow off to see the lovely Warren to find out what the next step is. I will be staying in East Grinstead with Irene for a few days - and have already got a coupld of days work at my old hospital - after that? well sure all with become clear.

So, bye for now, will be in touch again soon - sure there will be a new adventure to tell you about. - at least life's not dull!!
