Fiona's Quiet Life

As you may have guessed , i am in Den­mark, i have been up at the very top among the sand dunes in a sum­mer­house with no Inter­net access and my mobile phone has refused to work the past few days won­der­fully peace­ful it was, but i have popped back int Aal­borg to get in touch with fam­ily who were get­ting worried.

halfway through last Tues­day i thought, if i don’t go now i never will, i had been put­ting it off and delay­ing it feel­ing just a though i wanted to sleep all the time so i thought this will only get worse unless i do some­thing about it so i packed a small bag, put the book­case that Gor­don wanted in the car and set off, ‚my sat nav refused to work but one the way south, halfway down Eng­land the sat nave sud­denly said. “You are over the speed limit” which was the firs com­mu­nic­a­tion i had had from it for weeks. then it told me the way until i went on to the new Birm­ing­ham bypass, then it sulked again.which is a pity because i decided i was very tired and would stop for the night but the hotel had no room so she booked me into another one a few miles down the road but gave me dir­ec­tions to a dif­fer­ent one ..it tool me an hour and a half and 60 miles to find one that was only 17 miles away and the room stank of cigar­ettes but was the only room left.

but the next day was super , i set off won­der­ing whether to try Har­wich but not sure if there would be a ferry i went for the Chanel tun­nel and got straight on well it would have been instantly on but they decided to sniff my car for explos­ives, so i just missed the train but it was only half an hour till the next one, then clocks for­ward an hour. and off up France, i set the sat nav for Aal­borg with no hope that it would work. but mir­acle , it instantly worked and took me all the way from Cal­ais through Bel­gium, Hol­land Ger­many up to aal­borg it wouldn’t tell me how to get to my broth­ers street but he met me in a rest area of the road and led me in., my mobile phone stopped work­ing just before we met up.and has only accep­ted text mes­sages but refuses to send them or to call people , it is bliss full though hav­ing peace from the world.

so we have? been to a medi­eval day out set in 1533 to be pre­cise it was huge fun , and we have shopped and read books while it rained and watched the sun drop into the north sea at 10pm from a long flat white sand beach.Gor­don and me watch­ing jug­glers, and acrobats in authen­tic 1533 costume.

must try to book a room near the tun­nel now for my return journey
