Way back I put in to the ballot for the Lord’s test England v Pakistan and was successful for yesterday. The first two days went Pakistan’s way but we hoped to see England make a better fist of playing against the young, talented Pakistan side. Now that is as deep as I will probably be!Continue reading “A weekend of cricket,sun and a Brucie Bonus!”

Strictly Amazing!
Yesterday Debbie and I went to London to see the Musical Strictly Ballroom, a stage version of Baz Luhrmann’s film-we we’re not disappointed! I left work at a sensible time and we drove to shenfield. We travelled to London Bridge and walked along the south bank, bathed in spring sunshine, always a pleasure We passedContinue reading “Strictly Amazing!”
Where is this year going🤗
Can’t believe that there is less than a week left in March, and next week is Easter! Whilst I have a few things booked over the coming months, we haven’t booked a holiday and Kevin is being very reluctant about his 60th birthday celebrations🤔 So I guess I will just get something sorted! I haveContinue reading “Where is this year going🤗”
2017

Progress to finish the sixth form block is slow, but should be complete toContinue reading “Where did last week go..”
Keep right on to the end of the road……
Sunday arrived and we had beautiful weather for the Scottish relatives, friends and neighbours to celebrate the diamond anniversary. Food, drink and chairs were in place. Guests arrived and laughter rang out. We spilled over into the garden and it was so good to see so many smiling faces. I read a poem by BobContinue reading “Keep right on to the end of the road……”
Homeward bound
After a night in a warm room we were woken at 8:32 this morning. This left little time for showers etc and as it was miserable outside, we made our way to breakfast, which was again, very good! A meander through the streets of Bakewell meant buying cheese, beer and treats for home! We returnedContinue reading “Homeward bound”
Holiday….celebrate! đź’•đź’•
After the surprise visit from Australia, we were fortunate to have booked the end of September/beginning of October to holiday with Viv and Don in Portugal. Perfect timing and with our Wedding Anniversary on the Sunday also a chance to celebrate. We arrived on the Friday and were met at Faro airport. A whistle stopContinue reading “Holiday….celebrate! đź’•đź’•”
