They found a few spare Diversion signs and decided to give everyone a treat - another way to get lost and waste petrol! At least you did see somewhere new, some contented cows, and Woodmansey looks very peaceful.<br />Glad that Simon is home and he can enjoy some time without interference. <br />I learned long ago that you'll never stop a dedicated smoker. My late husband smoked like the proverbial chimney, and after he was diagnosed with lung cancer, he smoked throughout the treatment. Not surprisingly, after a short reprieve, the cancer returned.
