Day Five: Overcast this morning so I decided to sleep in. By the time I woke up the sun had broken through the gray clouds. No wind to speak of so I used my new cook stove to make breakfast consisting of an egg Bap and coffee. Found some missing stuff I'll need to pick up today. Emptied the tent, cleaned it out the bugs and grass, then put things back in neatly. For years I've carried a little bag where I keep my change of money. In go the dollars out come the pounds, in go the pounds out comes the Euros, etc. Looks like I've gone and lost it along with 100.00 Euro and 100.00 Rupees. Must have dropped it when I Pulled the Pounds out. Not that many places it could be hiding. Cleaned up my bike a bit and set up the "GoPro" camera. Had a rather interesting experience. I was doing a wash and while sitting in the washroom a young lady comes and we start to chat. Seems she has been on a walk-about in England since May of 2022. She sat down to read her book which low and behold was the same book I'm currently reading. Now this is not a run-of-the-mill book. It is called Wanders In the New Forest which I had just picked up as it looked interesting. What are the chances of a chance meeting both reading an out-of-ordinary book? Sometimes the world is a surprising place.
