I'm glad they made it safely to their cottages. They sure caught on to driving in an unfamiliar position on a different side of the road pretty fast. Can't wait to see what happens next.

    Thank You for your involved review. On round abouts which I hate even in my next town over, we spotted a car so when we came out of it, we could follow that car & come out on the correct lane

    Thank you for your expressive review. I hope you return for more of the story. I want the reader to be as confused as the characters are.

Liz,
Though I'm arriving in the middle of your story, I still liked the opening about being confused about where they are going, since this happens often in real life. Also, the thought of "harp therapy" caught my interest since I've never heard of it. Just a couple of picky things: there is one space at the beginning and end of ... , an apostrophe after on the walls, Mom and Pop store I believe should be capitalized, you used the word foreign twice in the same sentence, maybe substitute strange for the second one. Liked the excitement likened to a hot ball of wax. Good Job!

This was inspirational and a great continuation chapter, Liz. I do feel bad for Madeline having to put up with Cordelia as navigator. Once they had everything figured out then came the rain, yukky. At least with their fresh start and no rain they made good time to the cottages. Life goes on, as they say and the pair will survive. Very well done and greatly enjoyed.

This chapter started out really well, with the frustrating situation of getting off course because of poor road signs. It came across to the uninvolved reader as rather humorous. Well done, Liz.

I suggest, though, that addressing the situation again in more detail after the fact is redundant. I would remove two paragraphs, beginning with the one that starts, "That was some difference from the previous strangling trip out of London." and the next one.

One little punctuation and wording error: "I took part in (participated in) part one(,) of my harp therapy course." This avoids using the word "part" twice so close together, and the comma isn't necessary.

I hope you find this helpful, Liz. I look forward to the next chapter.

This is a very interesting story, especially told from the POV of Americans. We were in England many years ago, and the driving was terrifying. Unless the roads have changed a lot, don't you always turn left on roundabouts to get off one highway and on to another? I look forward to reading more of their adventures.

    Thank you for your involved review. We picked a car going where we wanted to & followed them so we'd end up on the correct lane. I hate them in US. I have to go through 2 on my way to a friend's. I find them a brain challenge. The problem is I knew several of the ones when they were just 2 roads intersecting.

Whew! I can imagine how terrifying it must be to be driving a foreign car with the steering wheel in the wrong place and on the wrong side of the road, in the dark and with highways marked differently! So glad our gals got their safely.
With two empaths who are dowsers, this story promises to be good. I wonder if you really do play the harp.

We wanted to avoidant repeat (avoid a ?)

    Thank you for your involved review. I played guitar & my friend really did play the harp for therapy.
