Just the day we didn’t want it to rain, it did! Poor Hilton, on his last trip with us, had to endure very trying conditions!
We had planned for a final clean out this morning but the heavy rain put a stop to that. Nevertheless, we were able to stack our gear up on the seats and do a fair job of the cleaning.
The trip to High Wycombe promised to be problematic given that there had been a very serious traffic jam around our area from the early hours of the morning. We got caught up in parts of this as we drove to Andrew and Toni’s Home for the change over.
Andrew was out front, in the rain, as we drove up the driveway. We welcomed him into his new “home” and proceeded to go through the list of items we wanted to show him.
During this process James arrived to collect our cases and bags - seemed to be much more than we anticipated!
Having shown Andrew all the idiosyncrasies of Hilton, we sat down, completed the transfer of ownership requirements and handed over the keys - Hilton was gone! Very sad 😢.
So many fine memories over the past seven European summers.
Best wishes to Toni and Andrew, the new custodians of Hilton.
James called by and picked us up - with all our luggage - and drove us to Maddie and Kevan's place. It was still raining heavily when we arrived but it was a nice warm welcome from Maddie. Later the skies cleared and we went for a walk around Hanwell - the first we had done in a couple of days.
