Twenty: Dorset, Somerset & The Cotswolds: Part One (17/07/09)

It's the day after my MOT and it's been persisting down for about 10 hours non-stop when He comes out, plugs me in to cool the fridge and starts loading me up with clothes, food, a few (Yeah, right!) bottles of wine and then, about 2.00pm they both get in, Her driving, naturally, and off we go. He's forgotten to fill up my water tank again, but I'm sure they'll be ok if it's only a short trip.

31/2 hours of driving south down the A1 through dreadful even more persistent rain and really heavy, very slow-moving traffic and we arrive at Pleasley Park Farmhouse CCC site. He gets out, still in the rain and goes in search of the owner and, after the owner has rigged up an electricity supply, wrapped up in a plastic bag to keep the connections dry, they level me off, hook me up and settle down for tea. One meal and a Sopranos later and they're off to bed. I keep them warm and dry until it eventually stops raining some time around 4.00am - which means I've been persisted on for about 26 consecutive hours - just as well I wasn't on a parade.
