Chalfont St. Peter

John met us at Gerrard's Cross and took us back to his house. I am now sitting in his lovely conservatory and Miguel is looking through the Telegraph. He talked a lot of politics with Mike -- well, Mike talked and Miguel made appropriate noises -- but he is interested. John took us into Amersham, where I worked in a hospital when I was seventten, and showed us the new town centre -- very old, and different from anything else Miguel has seen. Lots of half-timbered cottages. John has gone to fetch Jill from the doctors, and we've been sitting on Grandpa's bench, which is in the back garden here. In the morning we're going back home...
