Answer key
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.

Bowbridge to the bottom of town …………..(be)
walkable or cycleable. Not all of the towpath

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.
