Back home now after a few busy days with the boys and my dizziness had receded a little. Yesterday morning I took James for a 9 mile bike ride on the tandem. He is taller and stronger now and is a very useful stoker. He was very sensible and we had a great time. Called […]
I’ve been having a few dizzy spells lately first thing in the morning. However, today it was particularly bad and lasted most of the day. Despite this we did a lot with the boys. We postponed the kayak trip because of my giddiness plus there were very high winds forecast. We have booked tomorrow late […]
Pubs, cafes, restaurants re-opened today despite the risk from Covid Virus still existing in England. Police are on standby tonight to deal with those who drink too much and cause trouble. Still a lot of confusion over what we can and can’t do. But now non-essential travel is permitted to certain countries, I have booked […]
Mum’s brother Les visited Mum today. She was a lot more settled and accepting of her situation. She is eating and sleeping well and the staff have noticed the improvement. I am visiting next Friday, it will be interesting to see her reaction then. I hope it’s a nice day and she is without dizziness […]
Lovely to be out cycling with with my friends again. Early start for me to meet them at 9.30 am at Pembury, just like it used to be. We spilt into two groups for safe distancing. Well probably more that is was fast and slow riders. Needless to say I rode with Les and Mike, […]

Ray’s funeral was well organised , well managed and emotional. Dave and I both read our poems OK but at times we had to take deep breaths to keep going, it wasn’t easy but I was very honoured to be asked and several people paid compliments which were nice. We went back to Ray’s son […]
Today I booked the 0700 ferry for Calais on 9th Sept to return, probably on 7th Oct. Our friend Mary is coming with us and we will drive to the villa stopping overnight near Limoges in a chateaux ! then down to Millau, near the famous bridge. I have booked each overnight stop and after […]
Sue’s turn to visit Mum today, but not a successful trip. Mum is very confused now and thought she would have friends arriving to see her on her special day. This is despite her being told regularly that is just one visitor. She thought I would be joining Sue in the visit and was upset […]
After 3 days of 30 plus degrees, tonight the wind has turned cooler and the next few days will be somewhat cooler.No need for the fan on tonight! Yesterday, beaches were full, no sign of any social distancing. I fear we could be in for a second virus spike. Apart from that, the amount of […]
