Today felt like the first proper day of the holidays! We slept in till nearly 9. The new summer weight duvet is perfect. We are too wimpish to manage a whole night with just a sheet. There were eleven morning glory flowers out this morning. Steve's sister and I chatted, and I did a bit more packing and washing, then we set off across country to meet some of Steve and Rosie's long lost cousins at a country pub. Cousin Tony emigrated in 1963, and married there and raised a family. We got on well, and even agreed to meet in Scotland next week, as that is where we'll both be! Tony's wife, Christine, had been to a convent school, as had I, so we had something in common straight away. Neither of us have ever been to a reunion, or are likely to attend one. As for me, I don't normally have Sunday lunch, but the roast beef and yorkshire pud, plus bread and butter pudding, means that I'll never have to eat again, which will be handy over the next few weeks. Now, my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.

6. Answer key
A mere three weeks ago we were walking in the canal basin before the water was added. Today we were able to walk from Bowbridge (our nearest joining point) to just east of Waitrose. That has not been possible since last July because of engineering works, but when the contractors leave tomorrow, the whole section from Bowbridge to the bottom of town will be walkable or cycleable. Not all of the towpath has been upgraded yet, because some parts are done by a volunteer task force.
