Wednesday, 2nd Oct. On the way to Wiltshire on Saturday, we called in to see the remains of the large and luxurious Great Witcombe Roman Villa in Gloucestershire, built circa AD 250, with a bathhouse complex and with magnificent views of the valley below.
Our arrival at our friends’ home in Wiltshire was greeted with great enthusiasm by 10 year old Alfie, anxious to investigate every nook and cranny of Boris’, giving the drop down bed a try out and quickly discovering how everything worked. Following a lovely meal cooked by Jo, we were escorted by Si and the tall and willowy teenaged Alice to the nearby village hall where we enjoyed a lively musical version of The Three Musketeers, performed by 4 talented and professional members of Barbershopera, an a cappella group which has toured the U.K. since 2007 and has a YouTube hit ‘I Could Have Married Kate’ among its credits.
It was to be our last night sleeping in Boris the motorhome for this trip, as after breakfast and a drive round the village for Alice and Alfie, we set off for Somerset. It was a pleasant, sunny drive and another warm welcome was awaiting us. We are now enjoying the company of our friends Marion and Mike while preparing Boris for his winter hibernation…he has served us well and deserves a rest…Friday is the day he’ll go into his temporary home and Friday week is the day we’ll head for home.
