A Guardian Angel Indeed.

A rather surprising shop at Lidl.

Bob and I had spend the morning taking the waters at a Spa in Bük, Hungary. Lovely, busy, new experience and one to be repeated. It was so great to see a whole slew of people dressed in swimming costumes, regardless of shape or size. Nobody looked, nobody cared. A great lesson to have learned.

At about half past twelve we finished and drove along scenic back roads to Szombathely. The Hungarian country side is in places still unfettered with modern day craziness. Fields are fields, forests are forests and meadows are still without the ubiquitous cluster-homes seen around the world on outskirts of major cities. Driving one could almost envisage the Habsburg Royalty of yore riding about. Magic.

Eventually we found our Lidl in Szombathely, parked and did a shop. A half hour later we emerged into the car park, looked for our red car and spotted it but with a hair-raising extra. The driver side door was wide open. Yikes, both of us got cold shivers and I ran to have a look to what had happened.

Before I got to our car, a lady who stood next to her car which was parked opposite us, waved at me. I couldn't believe it when I saw the open door, and more to the point, the lady and her husband must have stumbled upon our open car and decided to wait for us to return. Real guardian angels indeed. Who knows where our car could have landed up without them.

Bob ran to check if anything was missing- thankfully nothing was-, while I tried to fathom what had happened. Either we left the door open or someone opened it only to be surprised by our guardian angels. It doesn't bear thinking about. All I can say is that we were divinely protected and from now on we will make doubly sure whether all car doors are locked...
