Well I have reached the half way stage in my holiday and the British weather has caught up with me
well at least the forecast has been right once this week its a shame they are right about the bad weather !!
I have a friend from Sweden over for the first solo holiday of her life and it has been a lot of fun if maybe a bit hard keeping up with a 21 year old at my age !! (48)
So far I have managed to be the perfect tour guide visiting London etc and it was nice of my home town to arange the towns carnival for the weekend of her arrival to give an added free bonus to the entertainment
You know the younger generation get a lot of well deserved bad press with their anti social ways and disrespect of others and life in general, so its a very great and pleasant suprise when you get to see the flip side of the coin and get to spend time with a free thinking, fun loving wonderful human being that has a great deal of respect for herself and more so for others whilst still being her own person and doing the things her generation wants to do without all the hassle for others.
I think that this is living proof, if proof needed, that its not down to the way life is these days or the schools but the parents and the way people are brought up.
Well at least the roads are a safer place until Monday when I will be returning to the madness of being a truck driver once again
so make the most of it people !!!

Good for you to have a friend like that!
