A few weeks ago my cousin Jo put on Facebook about the Postal museum, a ride underground from Mount Pleasant in a train that transferred the post around London. It seemed like fun so we booked and lunch at Madison’s arranged. Kevin and I left our hotel and had breakfast and we met Shirley andContinue reading “Rail Mail”

OH 60 Day 7
Last treat for Kevin a meal with friends at Dalloway Terrace in London. As I was also to be in London on Saturday morning, I booked a hotel for the night too! We left Billericay at 3:00pm and we were on our way. We checked in and got ready, although the precipitation was a slightContinue reading “OH 60 Day 7”
OH 60 Day 6
Nothing planned by me today, as I had to go to work as it was GCSE results day. Nail appointment later in the afternoon in readiness for tomorrow’s treat. Kevin had arranged to play squash with his chum of over 33 years, the first person he played against when we moved to Essex. I settledContinue reading “OH 60 Day 6”
OH 60 Day 5
Back at work this morning for me, leaving the new sexagenarian at home. I had to visit the graphic designer/branding consultant and enjoyed the amble through the little gardens in Chelmsford. Getting home early afternoon there was an unknown car on our drive and I wondered who Kevin had round. He was entertaining 3 ladies!Continue reading “OH 60 Day 5”
OH 60 Day 4
So the 21st of August was upon us, Kevin’s 60th birthday. I asked him what time he was born and he didn’t know. I was up at 7:15, to find there was no water. After much twiddling with taps I managed to squeeze a dribble to wash my hair. After that whilst drying my hairContinue reading “OH 60 Day 4”
OH 60 Day 3
After a good night’s sleep Viv provided a great breakfast, and all too soon it was time to leave. We made our way into Portsmouth, parked the car, making our way to the port office to ‘check in’. And the cat was out the bag, Kevin found out where we were going! A boat tookContinue reading “OH 60 Day 3”
OH 60 Day 2
A bit of a lazy Sunday with packing, and sibling squabbling to referee. A no show from the bedroom man meant that we left after 3 to make our way with a post code in the satnav. Our passports are packed and Kevin still has no clue. We had a stop at Cobham services wherebyContinue reading “OH 60 Day 2”
OH 60 Day 1
A trip to London to see the Lieutenant of Inishmore, with Aidan Turner of Poldark fame! Now, I’m not going to lie, this was as much a treat for me as it was for Kevin😉😉 A black comedy it certainly was with laugh out loud moments, and moments of 😱 initially from where we wereContinue reading “OH 60 Day 1”
Term seven
I’ve been reading twitter and other blogs of school business managers/leaders and a few talk of term 7 as a reference to the summer break. A time for us to reflect on the last academic year and enjoy solitude and quiet to get to grips with outstanding jobs: although the fire alarm testing on WednesdayContinue reading “Term seven”
A trip to Scotland
I try to visit my parents in Scotland in the summer, and this time I had some company, as Joseph came along on the trip. This was a great chance for us all to spend time together. The journey wasn’t great due to a delayed flight and having to purchase additional train tickets, but weContinue reading “A trip to Scotland”
