I dreamt that you were twisting through seven suns of gold and the gypsy was insisting

that story must be told I came two in the morning but I took it as a warning that you might be a treasure.

I could touch but never hold.

Hello, and welcome back to the Soberfall podcast.

I'm Veronica Valley.

And I'm Chip Summers.

And a very warm welcome to you after our much needed summer break. It's

really good to be back with you. How is your summer chip? Absolutely fantastic. I had a really

nice time. Didn't have a very long vacation. I had what I would call an American vacation. I had two

weeks. Two weeks. Americans don't go on vacation for two weeks.

Americans go for one week. Oh, well, then that wasn't bad. And I got in between. You didn't have an Italian

vacation. I did 10 days. Italians don't do any work at all. No, I had 10 days and I had an absolutely

amazing time and it was fantastic. And my wife and I will usually go away every now and then we did.

Weren't you in a yurt or something, like a tent or something?

We do like a bit of glamping, what's called glamping over here. Yeah. It's like camping,

I'm not doing anything else other than that. So we did a couple of them, which was lovely. We stayed in a converted chicken shed at one point. But we love that kind of weird. So that was good. That was nice. A converted chicken shed? Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There were no chickens there? No, it was lovely. It was very cozy. But it was a converted chicken shed, yeah. So that was nice. We've done a showman's caravan and all sorts of things. We do weird things like that. I think my wife has a link to a website that says weird holiday locations. So we did a couple of them and the rest of the time, when we had time off, we mooched about in the garden and I did my bees and she did what she does. And yeah, it was very good. It was very good when i think of a british summer is when

i get most homesick because i just the summer in england when it doesn't rain it's just so glorious

i just love it so much just once in a while i'll get like a massive whack of homesickness like it

will just hit me and i almost feel like I want to cry because I was home

last summer for a month and I just loved the long evenings and like the minute in England

because our weather is so unpredictable and terrible, literally the minute the sun comes out,

every single Brit is outside. And all of a sudden everyone's eating outside and sitting by the river
