The first of the lasts

I have to keep telling myself that having less than two weeks before I am back in Brownsville is a bit like thinking the glass is half empty. Here I am thinking that my journey is all but over, but for many people, they would be looking at the start of their ten day holiday with anticipation.

But this is the first of the many "lasts" here in UK. I've just checked into the York Youth Hostel and this is my last youth hostel stay.

The day after tomorrow I head to Leeds for my last Servas stay.

Then two days after that is my last accommodation location in UK. Can't wait to be in a self contained cottage for a whole week and not have to move on every two days.

My last journey will be returning the hire car to Gatwick Airport and then getting the train and subway back to Heathrow to fly out on 31 August.

(One piccie for Chris) Part of my lunch at a quiet little pub on my way to touristy Ambleside in the Lakes District.

    Yep, all the beer was for me. It was a taster selection of real ale - each a third pint. REALLY needed this to calm my nerves as just prior to this I missed having a collision with a motorbike by not even a centimetre. It's a short story of narrow lanes, blind corners and crossing fingers that there is no oncoming traffic ...
