Val,s snippets
SAK.

Well, we had what we thought was a successful conversation with a woman in the Super Market queue. We told her why we were buying one tomato, a slice of cheese and a shaving of salami, (cos  we have to carry it, and its hot).

So,off she goes, to  her tourist hotel just next door, and presents us with,  not only a couple of filled rolls, very  nice too, but two huge beer glasses. We could scarcely get them to the next town in one piece, so now our next new  friend Richard, has them in his bar.

A close  contender for Spontaneous Act of Kindness for the week would have to the guy who helped lug my fully loaded bike up a steep set of steps to platform 3 , and then gave Don a hand. The train was all closed up and puffing, about to depart. The guard also was a hero, having the bikes into his guard van, meters about the platform.

Delights.
Rounding a sharp corner, on a country road,  there was a huge paddock, alive and glowing with the colour of a million marigolds in full bloom.

Good stuff.
The zillion muzzy bits on my bottom have stopped itching, and we seem to have left the land of biting ants.
It's a bit college today and wine once again has an appeal.
