A bit of a Drive

Since the departure of the children we have been a bit deflated Genny in particular has been down in the dumps, my attempts at cheering her up prove a bit pathetic, we've tried retail therapy that's only partially successful, to be honest I've had enough sitting in cafes drinking coffee for a while, but I know I will have to continue to do so especially as Genny needs to do our usual shopping anyway.
In desperation the other afternoon I grabbed Genny and we took off in the car, where we were headed I had know idea, I just wanted to get out of the house for a while. That while turned into a three hour drive around north Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, it actually reminded me what a beautiful country we live in, we went down narrow lanes and discovered villages I  had never been to before. The trip although a great joy I can't help but think I wasted a lot of fuel in doing this, and would I have done this if we still had the roller skate (our little Seat) I never really enjoyed driving it, a means to an end we always said.

Genny is already planning ahead she is waiting to go to Odessa for Christmas, to be honest I am not so sure I want to go, the last time we were there the journey home was very stressful I was poorly for a few days afterward. So we shall see, maybe the new treatment will set me up well and I will be fighting fit and ready for anything.
