She did wake up eventually but we only had a chance to chat for half an hour before we had to head for Northampton where Jane had been invited to the retirement celebration of one of the doctors from the surgery where she worked. It also gave her a chance to catch up with many of her previous work friends. Meanwhile I met up with one of my old work colleagues to put the world of local government to rights.

We spent some time with Graham and Sue and went out for a curry at <a title="Rahuls Restaurant" href="http://rahuls.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rahuls</a> on Bridge Street. This is an unlicensed restaurant so we took our own wine and beer (not that we're drinking alcohol at the moment). I had a chicken Jalfrezi which must have been the hottest curry I've had in many years and once my lips had stopped singing it was really delicious.

Another over nighter at Upton Travel Lodge, a catch up with Alison near Towcester and we were on the road again heading for home.
