It was an excellent route that you chose, and it sounds as if you enjoyed it despite some unseasonable weather (though I seem to recall importing some Timperley weather for you on Thursday!).<br />I'm so glad that you finally made it to that hot bath you kept talking about. Was Kylie there to meet you?
