This was going to be a long day and it was, but being a Sunday there was not too much traffic on the roads, however the lorries were ever present and all driving at at least 70 mph, some well over 80mph.
I started at 7 am and stopped for a bit of cereal at about nine, I then stopped for a coffee and a couple of biscuits at a Cracker Barrel at 11am . I phoned one of the people who I wanted to talk with and he was more than happy to chat to me today, this was very good as it has saved me about 140 miles drive.
I got to New Carlisle at about 3 pm and we had a very good conversation I put a few of the ideas I have been developing to him and some he agreed with others he did not However we did consider that the DNA of the American wood wheeled clock has a lot of British in it a very small part of German but a surprisingly large element of Scandanavian which I am going to explore further. He kindly showed me some of his vast clock collection.
I was also contacted by the person I had arranged to meet on the tuesday he again readily agreed to meet on monday this is a very good piece of news as it makes the visit that much more effective.
I got to my Air B and b at about 7.30. The room is very nice. I am looking forward to a good sleep.
