PROMPT November 15th

You and your two best friends are going on a month-long road trip. Where are you going? What three items must be in your luggage for this trip to abe a great experience for you.

This would be the road trip that was cancelled owing to you know what.
2020 was to be the road trip around England. Back home to see my family. But they were told it wasn’t just a trip to visit them. No, this was to go to all the places I never went to when I lived there for 28 years! This wasn’t a time to waste catching up and drinking tea, ( although I really wanted to do that too)
After a week of catching up and drinking 🍵 we were to go to London. The tea drinking had been in Derbyshire.
Tower Bridge, the Crown Jewels in fact all the places I had seen once but that was when I was a kid. I needed to see them again with the appreciation of adult eyes. Beefeaters, Guard changing at Buckingham Palace, all the touristy things, I was going to lap it up.
Then from there Stone Henge. Yes I know it’s not as big as I thought, but I don’t care.
Then the Lake District, Wordsworth Country. That’s a place I hadn’t been to. How crazy is that?
I’d like to think I’d take a sketch pad and pencil to sit and draw and absorb these things and places. But, I’d probably wouldn’t. Money. That’s what I’d need to make these things special. Then I could stay at beautiful old Inns and hotels. I could experience everything, do tours with knowledgeable people, not have to pick and choose what I could afford.
I’ve been to Shakespeare country before, seen his cottage etc but it was rushed. This time I was going to really take my time. Go to theatre shows, go to the Globe Theatre, absorb it all.
Alas it wasn’t to be and now I’m not up to the long haul flight when and if it’s safe to fly.
