Similar thing happenned to me in USA, I was returning to UK after 7 years out there and took a trip to Annaheim to Disneyland got there and as it was winter months the place was closed for a few days , I parked on some spare land a guy came out of his office( like a shack) and I explained what had happened , he said not safe to be there on my own in a transit van and invited me home , a bit dubious I hesitated, next out came his wife and to this day we are friends on skype and mail, kindness is all around us and every offer is not always bad. I am following your journeys with great interest Ilona and love all the pictures, I was in Chester myself a few weeks ago on a coach holiday.

My wife was a bit apprehensive about having a 'stranger' in our house too, but it was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we wish you all the best on your travels. We look forward to hearing where you ended up today, we know you were intending to head for Baslow or Chesterfield, possibly via Chatsworth. So sorry the weather turned nasty and hope you didn't get too wet. Tread carefully.
