Home Again

OK: I typed this really long, and (I thought) entertaining account of our trip home, began to fix my spelling errors, and the &%$&$&$(&^%*& thing disappeared!! So, being as it's already after 7 am, I am going out for the first REALLY good cup of coffee I've had since I left!! Will write again later, after coffee and a sleep. Maybe the other thing will magically re appear. J
