Midlands Revisited

[sawyl]

Return to the ancient baronial manor this afternoon for the Mater Familias' birthday. Train journey wasn't too bad, freaky passenger count: Moderate, becoming good later. When I arrived, my parents weren't as stressed as I thought they'd be and the weather was beautifully sunny and not at all like rainy Exeter. To top it off, we're just about to go to ever excellent Rupali for dinner.

Looks like my apprehension was for all for naught...
