With a car in Stoke-on-Trent, and a funeral to attend down in Dorset, it was time for some rationalisation… parking up in Alvecote Marina for a few days Fran stayed put looking after Sir, while Bob caught a train from Tamworth to Stoke to rescue the car, drove home, then to Poole and back, then caught a train back to Tamworth. A frenetic couple of days: it was good to get back to the the boat! All the trains ran to time: a pleasant surprise.
