She left London with a friend and they drove to an address a few miles north east of Shrewsbury in the County of Shropshire. This is quite a long way to go and return in any weather but the day was fine and they reached their destination in good time.
The car was an estate allowing part of the back seat to be flipped down and a large box to be put in through the back door. Several packages and a case were put in as well, then it was time to say "Farewell and thank you" and to start the long journey home.
Where had they been? Why had they driven all that way only to turn around and drive back to London?

She sat in the back and had the case beside her. She had with her a bag of chopped apples and grapes and these were put regularly into the case.. most curious, no?
They drove south, the weather deteriorating rapidly and by the time they got onto the motorway, the sky was pitch black, torrential rain and strong windw were lashing the car, it was SO bad that people were driving slowly, even huge lorries were as well.
It took manymany hours, far longer than the journey going up and they both were mighty relieved when they saw the lights of London. She cannot remember exactly how long the journey took for this jaunt happened a long time ago now but it was a scary journey coming back to London.
However, she does remember pulling up in front of her house and the car's engine being switched off, the packages and box being carried down the stairs, her carrying the case down and opening the door, switching on the hall light and turning to thank her friend who had so kindly driven her on this jaunt.
"Would you like to come in for a pit-stop" she asked. "No thanks, I'm on my way" was their response and they left. She shut the front door and turned on more lights.
She unpacked several boxes and then the case that she had placed so carefully upon the seat beside her.
Are you any wiser? Do you have a clue as to what I am referring to? No.. Yes? Ah.. well.. you see, the vital clue is in today's date, for it is upon this day, twelve years ago, that she drove up to collect me from Rebecca, my breeder.
For you see.. I.. was in the case..
