Day 38

We woke to a lovely sunny day but it was not for sightseeing as it was just a day for a drive from Middlesbrough to High Wycombe near London.  Twas unfortunate but planning meant we had to forsake the 24 degrees outside temperature for sitting in the car for a substantial part of the day.

Despite the odd whinge about rain and cold we have enjoyed the windless days and nights here.

Before we left the apartment we took a photo of Callie in her “closet”, well it was so small you couldn’t call it a bedroom.

The new apartment is a pleasant one unlike our previous, overlooking a large green or playing field, lots of trees around and many gliders finding the thermals above us.  The nearby airfield must have been busy as there were at least 4 airborne at once that we could see.  Likewise the innumerable birds were also finding thermals and winding their way in circles ever upward. 

Braedy was entertained by a guy doing his gym workout with his stretchy weights on tree right in front of her while she was trying to learn her lines for the Crucible, she came back to the apartment, this place does have some weirdos.

We added another adventure to our already enormous list. We went to the supermarket, no adventure there you say, well I beg to differ. We went to Sainsbury’s in this place you can swipe your credit card take a gadget that sits in a special spot on the trolley, as you shop you scan your stuff, we are not sure what happens when you have finished. This supermarket was HUGE, it had two levels, food, off licence, pharmacy, magazines, technology downstairs and clothing etc upstairs. That’s not all the car park was also amazing, again you say it’s only a car park but again you are wrong. In Australia we drive in and drive around, around and around and hunt for a spare spot eventually find a park and go shopping, here you drive in, look up signs tell you how many spaces and how many are left, not to advanced you think but the super advanced bit is a small green light indicates all the vacant parks and a little red light means it is used, how cool is that?
