    3 dogs~So so very glad that you had a good day yesterday :j :j :j
    Made me sniff a wee bit TBH.

    Happy Tuesday all.

    Thanks hun :A

    Sorry things aren't good at home with son staying Pat :(

    Alan wasn't good during the night and got very little sleep, so he hasn't been out at all today, and only got up for late brunch and to see my sister for half hour when we got back from seeing Mam :( He has that pain across his middle, which comes and goes, and we will get checked as soon as we are home. So I just went up to my brother's to chat to him for an hour or so and then took my sister down to see Mam, who has a touch of the runs at the moment and is quite tired and quiet, but otherwise ok

    We are going to try to get up early tomorrow to drive home. Hopefully Alan will let me do the driving so he doesn't get even more tired. We will pick up the dogs from the kennels when we get back and then have a relaxing evening and sleep in our own bed :D The mattress which should have come before we came up here should be there, taken in by a neighbour, but will leave that to sort out the next morning

    Right, a little packing and then more catching up for me :p

    We left at 11.35 am and got home at 3.35 pm - 4 hours ain't bad with a stop for coffee/toilet :j Alan was ok after a good night so he drove. He said he preferred to be driving than just sitting there as a passenger, and he was fine. However, when we got home, he went straight to bed and is still sound asleep, and I unloaded the car and got everything put away

    I have again extended the doggies stay in kennels but will pick them up tomorrow, to give us a chance to rest tonight and then do a good clean around before they get back and get hair everywhere again ;)

    Hi Everyone
    Hope all are well.

    3Dogs you have certainly made the most of your time away, loads of lovely memories to cherish :)

    Can so relate to the dog hair! Nemo should be bald the amount that gets sucked up the vacuum!!

    Is Alans bag performing ok? Even the slightest hint of constipation gives Nick horrendous tummy pain. He usually takes a Senna pill a day to keep 'regular', their innards are different to ours now remember. :(

    Nicks legs are almost normal size!! :T Feet are still too fat for shoes but a vast improvement and so much more comfortable for him.

    Boult I must own up, I had to google welldressing, but it looks awesome!! Hope your leg gets its act together and allows you to go!

    Ok teatime! Have a good night everyone.

    Take care

    Hiya hun. Alan's bag seems ok but perhaps that is what the pain is. It would seem reasonable for it to be that. He does take Resource powder stuff once or twice a day. Thanks for info

    So glad that Nick's legs are 'normal' again and hopefully his feet will follow suit shortly ...... and he'll be able to wear shoes :j

    The welldressings do sound lovely, don't they? Something we've heard about but never been to. Would it be suitable for Alan to go to, do you think Boult? Sounds like a lovely trip away, especially if they are held over the year :D

    I had to have a lie down for a couple of hours as I went all sleepy, and have just got back up. It is very warm/close here and feels like there are storms about. We did have a light shower just before I went to bed, just enough to wet the ground but large drops coming straight down. It was overcast when we left the North East but the sun came out fully nearer home, though it has clouded over here now too

    Alan got up for 2 hours when I went to bed, but we have swopped places again and he is back in bed - musical [STRIKE]chairs[/STRIKE] beds :rotfl:

    Yes hun,very good:D, and I was right about home town being one of the last, 8th September.


    Definatly suitable for Alan, 3D, there also normaly other stuff included at the same time, like us with the vintage car's and tractor's, and other village's with flower festival's

    Most of the town's/village's have got website's and you can look at last year's display's, the current year's designe being a secret till the start of the week, if you don't want to come when it's realy buzy then it's handyy to know that the board's are desplayed for the week, our's being this Saturday till next Friday, but the tea room,tractor's ectera are only for the bank holiday week end.

    Yes and it is lovely to be back home again. If Alan had his way, we'd have been back sooner ;) but he now glad we stayed those extra days and has enjoyed his time up there :D

    Boult, I will see how things go and maybe book short break over your direction to see a welldressing :j
