We were woken by a huge down pour today, rain crashing down on the roof and lashing the window panes. It gave us quite a start but it was quite nice to watch as we lay in bed. It wasn’t really out door weather to say the least, so we relished in staying indoors and taking it easy! We had a productive day however, organized a car hire for tomorrow as to head to Lands End and Penzance etc, our transport to Heathrow for next Friday, our accommodation for various nights, emails and the likes. It felt good to get it all out of the way. We also had time to sit down and really look at Europe and talk about which routes we should take and how long we should try to stay in each etc.

As always, we had a Sunday roast which was lovely family get together. It was really nice to see Jenny again and also, we got to see Martin for a short time before he head off on his ‘biking, hiking and beer’ week away.

Chris and I have both been keen to watch the Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves DVD since being in Sherwood Forest and just this morning asked Jen if she owned a copy of this that we could borrow. Sadly she didn’t and a long discussion took place of how this was the best Hood film to be made and the consensus was that we all loved it. We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we’d just have to wait awhile to see this film again, but then, when Jen was over we were sitting in the lounge and she said “Hmm, wonder what’s on telly tonight?” And lo and behold, she checked the guide and what do you suppose was? Good ol’ Robin Hood. We were very amused by this; it was such a random thing to have happen. So, we just got our Robin Hood fix and are about to head to bed. We have another day on the road tomorrow so, it means another early night for another early rise!
