<\/a>\nWe slept in a bit this morning after our late night\/early morning. It was a shame to abandon our country manor house at all. We had a quick look around Market Harborough before heading to Bedford.<\/p>\n
Okay. This is really it. I will do one more post when I get home, just to round out the story, plus I have some more odd vehicle pictures to post. <\/p>\n Until then, bye, Steve J.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are currently sitting patiently in Terminal 3 at Heathrow waiting for our flight to open.

\nBedford involved a brief stopover to catch up with Rob Simpson, another face from the past. Rob was a flat mate of my sister in the early 1980s while she was living in the UK. Michelle and I met Rob when he came out to Australia in 1985 and we have been corresponding since. We last caught up when Michelle and I were in the UK in 1989. The amazing thing is that none of us has changed. How do we do it?<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nLeaving Bedford we headed to Heathrow to park up the car and luggage while we did a last minute errand in London and waved Emily off. A fairly simple drive turned into a bit of a nightmare when we experienced one of the infamous ‘M1 parking lot’ moments.<\/p>\n
