Packed schedule

Yesterday was the day for taking Great-Granny back home. A journey of less than 2 hours. The preparation for the journey was something else though!

My original plan: a 10 o’clock start so we would be there and back before dusk. “Plans are useless”, Eisenhower once said, “but planning is indispensable.” Great-Granny dispensed with my plan at a stroke.... or rather a pace of progress that would make a sloth seem energetic. Three hours after scheduled departure, lunchtime, I asked Mrs H what her mum had been doing.

“Packing her case!”

”Really?”

“Really!”

We arrived home at 11pm!
