Coronavirus
She has survived a broken hip, surgery for a new one plus Covid and here she is at 96. Amazing when I think back to May 2020 when she was in such a bad way and I was sure she was on her way out. She had great day today with a visit from Viv […]
The big day arrived yesterday, the weather was fine and not too warm and the team made it from Swanley to Maidstone in 7 hours. A few aches and pains this morning and some minor blisters. So no injuries or accidents so it all went well. The previous few days I spent a lot of […]
Both Sue and I have been helping Toby with his home schooling. He has been at home isolating as one boy in his year tested positive. I must say I learnt a lot about comprehension that I was never taught at school. Toby is back at school today so it is a lot easier for […]
With the trailer event only a week away I decided yesterday to take a walk as training exercise. I went to Boughton Mon via some paths I came across. Amazing what you can discover so close to home. The old Mushroom farm at Loddington is now separate units with small businesses all working together to […]
Wow! I am falling behind with these blogs. I have to keep going though as I promised myself that I would not stop until Covid is no longer a problem. Unfortunately, though it still is. Cases of the new Delta variant are increasing quickly and this is due they think, to young people mixing and […]
England started their campaign today with a 1-0 win over Croatia. Not convincing, Croatia were unlucky not to equalise in the first half, however, England had the better run of play and held their nerve. A good result. Carried on watching TV as the mens French tennis final was on. Novak Djokovic was on form […]
Another few days since I blogged, so sorry for the gaps. Norman and I had a great day at StPaul’s and West Kingsdown Schools. Over 100 children listened to us talking about disasters. I did my best to keep it interesting and a few comments about where you go to toilet if your house has […]
Since the boys went home, as if I wasn’t exhausted enough, on Monday I did a 9 mile run, on Tuesday I did a lake swim of 2km and today I cycled nearly 59 miles. Tomorrow is a rest day except that Norman and I are going to St Paul’s Primary School in Swanley and […]
Weather perked up yesterday and today, so another busy couple of days with the Beckenham Boys. Yesterday James and I rode the tandem to Headcorn Airfield and back. James getting bigger and stronger now and has a good balance and is a safe rider. The cafe was open so it was loads of unhealthy food […]
James and Alex joined us yesterday as their parents went off for a quiet few days! Weather was lovely so we did the weir again as we did with the Reading Boys. Plenty of wet clothes but a lot of fun. Today it has rained almost all day so apart from a Hobbycraft shop trip […]
