Well Storm Claudia has certainly helped the water situation with parts of England flooded out. It started for us when my daughter phoned on Friday evening from Manchester that her train had been delayed, tree on the line. They had sat on the train for a while then got off to get on another train but no go. Karen phoned for an Uber to Tod, and a girl standing by her said 'no I am not stalking you' but could she come as well. Whereupon a couple standing near said the same. So the brave Uber driver drove through flooded roads and delivered all four safely in Tod. We weren't really expecting it here, the rain definitely and the wind but not the breakdown of the train services.
Also Tom and Ellie were coming for the weekend, but can't make it from Macclesfield, although we might see them for lunch, if the train situation clears, The table is already booked in Tod.

Apart from that life goes on quietly and as you can see both turned up. Settled happily in their new home and recent jobs. Tom who works for a publisher has to read books for them. But strangely enough his home reading is the first two books of the Phillip Pullman 'Dust' trilogy, so that he can read the last one 'The Rose field' which I am listening to at the moment. Although I have become a bit lacklustre as to finishing. Perhaps I should have read the first books to, I find too many characters popping up and various scenarios becomes confusing in the end.
The meal was delicious, though we waited a long time for it. Roasts for the Sunday tradition, mine was a nut roast with sweet puddings afterwards. Slightly off-putting was the child being sick across the road, he seemed to have come from football in the park.
