Sunshine in Montenegro, but it's raining through my ceiling at home.

Just coming to the end of my first week of travels with Gavin on his 'Balkans Tour'. Nice to meet his 'team-mates' at last, although Tony Lamb (who has got me blogging) is an old Adlington family favourite (not so old, he keeps reminding us...). They seem to be a very close-knit bunch and it's been fun putting faces to names.

Montenegro has been lovely; highly recommended for sushine in October and beautiful places to see from historical monastery Ostrog high up in the mountains to the beautiful beaches of the Adriatic. Spoilt by eating out every evening and have done a lot of knitting whilst Gavin is busy working, as well as a bit of trotting around the capital city of Podgorica seeing the (not very many) sights. Had a day trip to Budva on the Adriatic with Rumyana last week. Lovely.

Apparently at home we have water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Why do these things happen when I am away? Last time it was no water at all. On the whole I think I prefer that. Thank goodness for Nicky the cleaner who discovered it, Naomi the daughter who got out of bed on her day off to deal with it and good old sis Pat who is my chief Logistics Officer when I am away and found the plumber. Not to mention esure, who will hopefully pay for it.

Off to Dubrovnik tomorrow by car...
