I'm in Swindon today, arrived at the in-laws' place a couple of hours ago and will be here 'til we fly out of Heathrow on Sunday morning.

8 years with my husband and my Yorkshire accent occasionally goes a bit combine arrrvester too. :o

(He went to uni in Cardiff.)

(I have rellies in Rochdale.)

(I can't think of any more tenuous links right now.)

(I get like this when I'm jetlagged.)
