I'm not quite sure who qualifies for the "worst holiday" award, us or the shipmates who were renting our flat for a few days while over from the US. Their flight was cancelled and then rescheduled twice and their largest suitcase was lost (note to self: ring and find out if it ever arrived!), and the loo in the flat got blocked. This meant that we had to come back from the S. Coast where we were meant to be sunning ourselves, meet them, and trek back again, and also get the loo unblocked, as well as unblocking the guttering upstairs and repainting the wall it had leaked on.
Plus of course there was a severe problem with the concept of "sunning ourselves" and "S. Coast" - torrential rain and gale force winds along the south coast.
Still, we managed to eat vast quantities and all the dashing around meant I only gained 1lb in the week. The same one, I think, I lost the previous week. Now all I have to do is make my brain wake up after this cold (sniff) and do a bit of exercise in the weak sunshine we are currently getting Up North.
