Still in the Country Side

It's Tuesday here now and we're still at Lorraine's cousins house. Yes the large one. Don't want to leave anything anywhere or you have one heck of a hike back to find it. We spent Sunday with Lorraine's family reunion on her dad's side of the family. This is the second one we've been too and always a lot of work put into it for sure. I believe everyone enjoyed it. I didn't see anyone throwing a fit or creating a scene. They all seemed happy enough to come, see the house, eat, drink and converse for a bit and then wave bye as they left the house for their 3/4 mile drive down the drive. Monday was spent cleaning up a bit, going on a run in the country by car and stopping at a spot or two or three for the daily teas. Seems as if that is the one consistency throughout the country is this insatiable quest to drink all the tea in the land. What the heck is that all about? It's not really all that great an activity and as soon as you get up from one, move a bit, there seems to be another with some other butter laden foods involved. Now if you get involved with the eco conservative friendly group, it's another pattern of saving the world from our own destruction. Really now, one political point on this....if China makes no move to clean up the pollutantsl, everyone else is wasting their time and money for this still unproven and slanted idea. Perhaps it's just a nice way for many to remember to pick up their things and put them in the right littel box so they can be sorted. Oh well, I'm sure they all feel better for doing it, as they all seem to have a cause. Today we're going on a 4.5 mile hike. Another one of those feel good moments. I'm prepping now for it by waiting for the crowd. We're suppose to go at 9 but by the time the breakfast is eaten; the tea is served and the general good mornings come and go....it will be 11....but I'm ready for 9...let's see how this folds out today.
Tomorrow (wednesday) we go by train to Efdinburgh. So I go to the train website and fill out the hundreds of lines of inquiry and then get two tickets back with Lorraine in one train car and me in another....both going to Edinburgh and then down to London....Did they not you think we were together since we booked together, have the same last name and are going to the same places? WTH...So now I have to spend an hour of time with that india group of res agents that you can't understand and they stay so polite to try and get us at least in the same cabin....I better check and make sure we're on the same train! Take care all....
