Heading for home

At like 4 AM. Yikes. We had a great time. Last night we stayed in an inn that was tucked into the shadow of Chepstow Castle (circa 1066) in what was once a mortuary in the 1600s but the building dated back to the 1400s.

Irony of ironies, a) I wanted to see a more current Midsomer Murder the whole trip so I find it tonight when I can't stay up to finish it and b) finally in a hotel with a lift and I'm on the ground floor.

Wish us good flights.

Unfortunately, pro writing commitments and research travel got in the way of me polishing this so this is draft number two. If you want to wait for the polished final project, check my AO3 by Labor Day. Sorry! I'm currently not putting it up on AO3 until I get a chance for a final polish). If you read the draft and see something wonky feel free to tell me.
