Marc, of course you have to roll with the punches. We all do from time to time.
I can't imagine a better road trip than driving around England. I hope you will hit the Cotswolds, one of my favorite road trips ever when my Joanna was livng there, and met you and Arlene for the Chelsea flower show at some point in London! Joanna and Mark are headed to UK in a couple of weeks, and have rented cottages in Scotland on their own to share with his family and friends for part of the time they are there. First time my SIL Mark has been back home since their wedding, so I am happy for him to see his family again.
Marc, such a short summer there, hope you and Arlene have a wonderful time! For sure it will be green, green! haha, Arlene, have you planned a visit to Dowton Abbey?
