I can’t believe that by the end of this year we will be the proud grandparents to 3 grandchildren. Georgina is expecting a baby in December. She told us on her birthday, but waited until twelve weeks to announce it fully. We are beyond thrilled and excited for her and her partner. She will beContinue reading “Another grandchild, Australia and August.”

Welcome to the world
These last few days have been a whirlwind. We’ve had three family birthdays ( our eldest son, mine and a great nephew’s) and our grandson decided to make his much anticipated appearance early on the 2nd July. A very early morning message and then a call told us the news ‘ we’ve got a baby’.Continue reading “Welcome to the world”
A day to remember
Going to watch a game of cricket yesterday I remembered that it was 43 years ago that I watched a match for the first time, and met Kevin’s family. It was daunting to meet so many new people, which I marvel at I just did it, as I must have been so nervous. I’d neverContinue reading “A day to remember”
Daughter, Dubai dream
I’ve wanted to visit Dubai for a long time, so when Georgina suggested a ‘girls’ break for her 30th year, the answer was a resounding YES. We booked in October and it seemed to come around very quickly. We left Gatwick late on 31st May arriving the morning of the 1st June. An Uber toContinue reading “Daughter, Dubai dream”
April 2024 so far
I can’t believe we’ve been back from our cruise almost 3 weeks: it’s certainly been pretty full on. First day back and Georgina’s new car was hit, resulting in a lot of damage. Thankfully she was fine and that’s the main thing. We’ve seen a lot of River, been to Brighton, Arbroath ( a 14Continue reading “April 2024 so far”
Easter Sunday at Sea
As we make our way up to Puerto Madryn it’s Easter Sunday. We have in our room chocolate half eggs, filled with sweet treats, blown eggshell painting in the science area and we had booked the Lindstrom restaurant for dinner. What an absolute treat, this was fine dining, and with the most amazing sunset too.Continue reading “Easter Sunday at Sea”
Mothering Sunday 2024
It’s been a busy week, time with River, catching up with friends, a trip to London, and a post op check up I feel so much better and raring to go. I can get my trip planning boots on. I was lucky to get some instruction on smartphone photography from jetblacksquared and hope to useContinue reading “Mothering Sunday 2024”
July to December 2023
It’s been a full six months, with trips to Harrogate, Dublin, London, France, Barnsley, Seville and Scotland. Very frustrating that my operation to remove my gall bladder has been cancelled twice, but hopeful that it should be done by mid February. We’ve had so much fun with River, and news of a new grandson inContinue reading “July to December 2023”

It’s been a while….
After meeting a friend for lunch today, she asked me about my blog and whether I had stopped it. Life has been busy and whilst on our cruise in June we met a lovely couple and he introduced me to the Snapseed app, and the use of iMovie. I’ve been playing with both, and thisContinue reading “It’s been a while….”
Busy,busy, busy
The last three weeks have been full on, trip to the theatre, visit to Scotland, trip to Chelsea Flower Show, football, London, and Brighton. Mum is slowly on the mend, she enjoyed our visit and those of so many friends and family. Hopefully the assessments required will be carried out and the support needed putContinue reading “Busy,busy, busy”
Celebrations, coronations and a couple of breaks.
A busy fortnight where we have spent time with River, celebrated the coronation of King Charles III, visited family, I’ve visited friends, family, cooked, tidied, watched cricket, rugby and had some tests and scans after my February rib/back injury has not improved. Both our sisters have celebrated wedding anniversaries: one sapphire, one silk. Warmest congratulationsContinue reading “Celebrations, coronations and a couple of breaks.”
Four weeks have just flown by
These last four weeks I have travelled to Brighton, Barnsley, Arbroath and back again. Days out with River, Easter and birthday celebrations as well as walking as much as I can. On Thursday we attended Marion’s ( Kevin’s step mum) funeral, 33 years to the day her beloved John, at the same crematorium. There wereContinue reading “Four weeks have just flown by”
Two weeks with fancy footwork
What a fortnight of food, football and dancing. And walking too. Just before I left for Scotland the saddest news that Marion, Kevin’s step Mum, had died. She was a formidable woman who faced so many challenges in her life. She rose to each challenge and was also a great support and comfort to allContinue reading “Two weeks with fancy footwork”
