We completed the cleaning, despite the rain, and the trailer and truck are now safely stored for the summer. I even had time on Sunday night to get to a jam with David and Mike, our internet jammers. I certainly had a great time and they say they did as well, though we spent a fair amount of time talking about local mountain music, which I found fascinating.
We have started to get to know George and Kay, who are part of the family who's land we are storing the rig on. We got on like a house on fire, they are lovely people and we feel that our little home in America is in safe hands for the summer, even if Tim, Kay's brother, had to tow the trailer for us because the ground was muddy after all the rain we have had recently.
On Wednesday George and Kay dropped us at Knoxville airport, we flew to Clearwater (near Tampa), where we picked up a rental car. We had arranged to stay with Marilee for one night before driving to Orlando for our Transatlantic flight home. We were quite surprised when we arrived at Marilee's to find a lot of our friends waiting for us, for a little party!!! We had a lovely reunion with them for one evening. Thankyou so much for that.
On Thursday we set out for Orlando and home.
We have arrived safely and driven down to Derby to see our children, grandchildren, niece and nephew and their children for a weekend reunion.
