Day 715 Poles and Cheques

24th July 2019

There was no evidence of the storm this morning, the plants still greeted me when I looked out of the bedroom window. I was lazy and slept in, I had breakfast, and my first coffee of the day.

I went through my mail and found a couple of cheques from the DVLA and insurance company, pretty rare to actually get something back.

I was reminded of the Jag yesterday. It was parked next to the Shogun, I did pause to remember the fun it gave me.

I drove to Trowbridge to bank the cheques, All I heard were people talking in Eastern European languages, and I tried to remember which province of Poland Trowbridge was.

I walked around for a while seeing how empty it was. The deserted shops, mirrored the emptiness in people’s eyes.

Nicola had stocked the fridge with a few essential, including her vegetable soup, that makes the travel bearable.

This was a day of action, to get materials for the jobs I needed to complete on this trip.

First stop was Haven Timber to purchase oak sleepers. They are so heavy? I worked out why they were given that name. By the time I carried them up the slope to the cottage, I just wanted to crash out on the sofa.
