CHRISTMAS DAY

Our long drive, through eastern USA, ended in Uvalde TX, at Elspeth's home. She lives in a tiny cottage at the edge of town. There are animals in the fields, visible outside the windows. Elspeth has been up since early hours today. She has baked a pie, cooked a roast, and is generally puttering around, being busy, as Elspeth is. We drove through snow and rain, from New Hampshire to Texas. Snaps out the window follow. One joy was a stopover in Dallas, to visit a friend from Botswana - Jerry. He feted us in classic fashion. We were reluctant to leave his home, but Elspeth was expecting us in Uvalde.
