Monday, October 24 we took the took the train north to visit Nigel and Carol. I met Nigel on a travel forum many years ago. We were planning our trip to England in 2014 and I asked questions about the Cotswolds. Nigel grew up there and not only was he full of advice, he offered to come one day to show us around. They arrived on the Saturday morning, and by the afternoon they were already talking about returning the next day. They live about 1.5 hours away from where we were staying in Chipping Campden. They were so generous with their time and fun to be with. In 2018 I went to Paris after a visit to Germany and they came to see me there. In 2019 I was back in Germany with Uncle Jack and they came to see me there as well. I spent a day with them, and when we returned to the house where the family was staying we all had dinner together. Now it was our turn to go to them. Jim hadn’t seen them since 2014. They picked us up from the train station and they showed us around their beautiful area and we went on a short canal boat ride. We ended up at their house for tea/coffee and cake. Before we knew it the day had turned into evening and it was time to return to London. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with two very kind people.
