Yesterday while we were out having a picnic with Ralph and Gaby, NB Helen Louise moored up with John and Liz on board. They were both from New Zealand and it turns out that John was from Wanganui and went to the same school as Frances, albeit several years earlier. His younger brother may have been in the same class. It was a real shame that Frances had to go back to Croxley and that they had to leave this morning as she could have brought her school photo and identified John’s brother. Still I had a fairly lengthy chat with them last night and hopefully we will meet up again. They do know fellow bloggers Derek and Dot from Gypsy Rover and Andrew from Khayamanzi. I do hope that we meet up with them again.
Mick turned up with Frances late afternoon, which brought my reading to an abrupt halt, I had been sitting in the shade reading since the morning and really enjoying it, just like being on holiday in fact, even missed out on lunch as I was so engrossed. Q by Luther Blissett in case you are interested. Luther Blisset played for Watford before going to Milan. In the 90’s we saw lots of graffiti and bills relating to Luther when on holiday in Italy, it became a cult out there and they had leaflets at the bottom of posts and if you bent down to read them they said ‘Bow down to Luther Blissett’. The book I am reading was written by four anonymous authors living in Bologna and has nothing to do with Luther Blisset the footballer or so the sleeve notes of the book say.
