I loved going on this journey, Simon. And auntie sounds like such a force, personality, and person in general. You really brought her memory to life.

Yes, unfortunately, most infrastructure declines with age and progress. Only Art seems to ascend beyond and then only some. So glad to have you safely back on this side of the pond.

Enjoyed following along with you on this journey. And you are lucky that "the usual thing" involves such camaraderie. (I am, too, and I try to always remember that.)
