Currently Mrs FM is stuffing about 45% of the contents of Wal Mart into already bulging bags - in preparation for our journey back to Maryland tomorrow. One nights stopover there & then the Wednesday evening flight back to London.

Sorry to be leaving Virginia as its a lovely lovely place - my one bone of contention with it is that there is a direct correlation between the number of Baptist churches & the number of miles I have to drive for a bottle of whisky - still you cant have it all!!

So, I'll catch ya'll on Thurday, after my final visit to the Bass Pro shop on the way to the airport.
Please rest assured that by that time, all of my current bonhomie will have evaporated & the normal bitching, bellyaching & general complaining that comprises normal service will recommence.
