Day 3 in bed and it’s getting very boring. I’ve had lots of lovely food, drink has been supplied regularly and a treat too. Untold episodes of SUITS watched but not past series 3 yet! A parcel arrived and it was such a sweet thought from an amazing person who has her own concerns andContinue reading “LD 12”

LD 10
After feeling so tired and achy on Wednesday night, I woke up on Thursday with a different cough to normal, so I am now in complete isolation from everyone else. I spoke with Andrew and Lis in Australia, and they are fine. I spoke with my Mum after she said she had symptoms. My photosContinue reading “LD 10”
LD 10
An early start to get this budget done. After a frustrating few hours, spreadsheets to complete in quadruplet, I finally press the button: financial year end closure, Ta daaa! Every year is the same, and because it’s something that’s done only once a year, you forget all the nuances, checks and balances that you haveContinue reading “LD 10”
LD 4
Yesterday was a mixed bag. Work took precedence for the morning, with things to sort from the meeting the night before. Then a zoom call at 4pm with the rest of SLT. Cross stitch for an hour with the gorgeous natural daylight. Dinner time and just overwhelmed by the day. At 8pm we were toContinue reading “LD 4”
Lockdown 2
In some ways it felt just like a weekend, us all here enjoying a late breakfast. A FaceTime call from Australia and an exchange of the global impact on us all was the indicator that this was different. Three out of the five of us here logged on to the internet, which has slowed massively.Continue reading “Lockdown 2”
It’s life, but not as we know it….
These last few weeks have been extraordinary. The daily challenges faced, the communication updates and the stark reality now of changes that may become more of the norm – I hope not though. With schools now ‘closed’, but still open for certain students, structure will need to be maintained. As we approach the end ofContinue reading “It’s life, but not as we know it….”
As we await 2020 and all that can bring…
As we are about to move from this year to the next, I thought I’d just write a précis of the year. The year itself has already been well documented with the majority of the events with photos. It started as it ended with a sad loss of dear family and also the tragic lossContinue reading “As we await 2020 and all that can bring…”
Term 7 Week 2
Another full week with jobs crossed of a list that keeps getting added to! Last Saturday we visited Kevin’s Nan as she celebrated her 98th birthday. The youngest family member was there too, and good to catch up. When we got home Georgina had cut back the ivy that has been covering the wall nearContinue reading “Term 7 Week 2”
2019 part 1
Six months in to 2019 and it’s been full of ups, downs, sadness and joy, with memories made. It didn’t get off to the best start, but with some fortuitous twists we were able to join up with Andrew and Lis in Italy. Totally unexpected and all the sweeter for it! We met up inContinue reading “2019 part 1”
Arbroath are the Champions!
So the day had arrived for Arbroath to be crowned League one winners! After a breakfast of blueberry pancakes 🥞 we took our time to get ready, prepare dinner for later and enjoyed some quiet time. Arbroath and Angus really has some beautiful places to see , with red sandstone glowing like an ember onContinue reading “Arbroath are the Champions!”
May the 4th be with you
I have always followed Arbroath’s football club as I was born in the town, even living there for a brief spell before our move to England. This year they have been top of the league for most of, if not, the whole season. So before they had officially won I took a risk to bookContinue reading “May the 4th be with you”
First quarter of 2019
I can’t believe that we are three months into 2019. I’ve had two trips to Scotland, been to see some football, rugby and been to Lords for dinner. We’ve visited Brighton, Arbroath, Ripon, Harrogate, Stow on the Wold and Charlbury. We also lost our beloved Reggie, far too soon into his short but sweet life.Continue reading “First quarter of 2019”
A strange feeling
Today we drove over to Morden where Kevin’s mum and until a couple of months ago, his Nan lived. His Nan’s house has been a constant in his life, and his Mum has lived across the road for over 20 years. Nan moved to a lovely home and Val and her husband move out onContinue reading “A strange feeling”
A trip home…
A message earlier this month from my Mum breaking the news of my dad’s younger brother’s death was a bolt out of the blue. A call last Thursday, 10th, saying the funeral was on the 17th meant a few internet logins with return tickets purchased and time off in lieu agreed. My Dad is theContinue reading “A trip home…”
