My brothers were down this weekend and they have not stopped laughing at my stupidity....
They cannot believe that I am driving down from Toronto Canada to Florida, when I get lost going to Melton Mowbray! I thought it would take a couple of days but they have gone out of their way to inform me that it is approximately one thousand six hundred miles!!
This is where I miss my cautious husband, he wouldn't have let me commit myself to such a marathon drive, he would have pointed out the pitfalls. One of them being I hate driving any distance. Left to my own resources I thought it would be an amazing idea to explore America, I didn't really think out the 24 hour driving stint. They scared the daylights out of me, they thought I was driving down and flying back and when they found out I was driving back too they collapsed into helpless tears of laughter.
They have begged me to blog on the way down, so that they can share my misery. They are a heartless bunch. My daughter has no idea what I have planned as she has been busy working. I think it is going to be a bit of a shock, but I blame her she should have taken more interest in what I was doing.
So there we go Corrie and I fly out on Tuesday, if I have time I will write about our adventures on the way down to Florida. My brothers are taking bets on me getting there at all!

I remember Bargoed baths and swam there in all weathers. I recall one Saturday when a mate of mine raced down and dived in only to get straight out. His entry was so quick his back was still dry. There was almost ice on the surface.
