Against All Expectation

poliphiloAilz got on to another agency and they had a carer who was coming off a job and pleading with them to find her something else for the week. She caught the train in Whitstable and we picked her up from Tonbridge station. She's a Namibian. I don't believe I've ever met a Namibian before.
And so- against all expectation- we were able to set off for Oldham in the early afternoon. We left the motorway at Banbury and had a pizza. You know the nursery rhyme, "Ride A Cock Horse To Banbury Cross"? Well earlier this century Banbury put up a commemorative statue. As such things go it's rather fine.
And now we're in Oldham- and I'm faced with starting the work I've been doing in my head for the last couple of weeks- and hardly know where to start.

To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.
Makes me wonder about the accent that allows cross to rhyme with horse.
