The long journey home with Nigel taking the wheel for the entire journey, we patched up our quarrels of yesterday and made good company for the long drive back.
I gave my girls each a present that I had bought from Caithness Glass; Debbie a sculpture of Harvest Mice, Della one of Field Mice and, for Diana, a rose bowl as a pre-birthday present.
They also found my decoys and duck-calls fascinating, the former ending up in the swimming pool and the latter in use as they ran around the house pretending to be geese and duck
I stayed up until nearly midnight preparing and packing my things for the journey home and then we had a 5.00am call with the aim of getting away half an hour later. In fact, it was 6.00am before we left but this was still very good going because I had clothes, equipment and then the antlers, frozen and fresh game to protect and get aboard the Range Rover. Nigel took the wheel for the entire journey, despite my offers to help, but we patched up our quarrels of yesterday and made good company for the long drive back. We stopped three times and were back in Paxton before 5.00pm, unloading as the girls got back from a trip to the cinema.

A restful evening, reading the weeks mail and then going to bed with Diana for the first time in ten days.
