THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. WITH THE WILKOS.

So in what resembled more of a military operation

than a lovely weekend in the mountains, Des and

Carol drove to my work in our car, I took over and

picked up Claire (somewhere on the way) and into

the darkness we drove.

We stopped overnight in Richmond (nothing like the

one in West London)

At a lovely little Motel.

We even had dinner in the "Tuck Box"

Which even Claire enjoyed.
