Hello!

I think I last wrote at the weekend.

Stayed at caravan on Sunday night and last night so I have no wifi! But I do have a swimming pool so that makes up for that! Monday & let warmer than this mornings swim! Brrr! But done!

Beautiful early morning walks to watch the sunrise and deer in the field.

Out for lunch yesterday with friend and DD2…which was nice. But aren’t blooming sift drinks expensive!

Not been very warm but at least it’s been dry so getting washings out and dried on the line is a huge hurrah for me…now if only I lucid be bothered to remake the spare bed…not tonight!

And a caravan pleasure is my hot water bottles…refilled them this morning after our early morning walk so was cosy for an extra hour before a cool swim then a hot shower!

Been in a reading mood. Think I’ve read about 4 books in the last week. ( that’ll be the no wifi 😜)

I’m about to lose my laptop as it’s down to 5 percent charge

Busyness before dh’s birthday so trying to be organised I’ve wrapped a few gifts and just spent 2 hours making a nigella chocolate cake, the cake was easy but the faff in the icing wasn’t for me.

Popped out to get some bits and bobs for stores

We were only gone for about 2 hours and greeted back with looks of why do you go out.

Some mumbling about a possible break away still mumbling while I put the feelers out to campsites.

Missing posting but I’ll be doing it via the phone for a while.

Haven’t posted for about a week

1. Had a couple of days away which was a good break.
   
2. Visited a few gardens which was good and most were seen in the dry. On the Saturday visited one and got absolutely soaked.
   
3. Had a couple of meals out which didn’t cost too much.
   
4. Changed our phone contracts at last and saving about £30 a month.
   
5. Saw DS2,DIL and DGD lots of cuddles and she is growing.

Morning all.

Back again from our travels so just touching base.

Littlest grandson had an accident playing basketball at school the day before we went and his poor arm is broken in two places. One break is healing well but the other is slightly not in line and causing a bit of concern. He was back at the hospital yesterday and now is back next Monday to see the consultant. His SATS are next week too so an anxious time. Middle grandson also has another A Level exam today.

Anyway, some pleasures:

1. We made it away, nothing we could have done here. Just us two so a quiet, relaxing time.
2. We 'did' The Beatles' in Liverpool and had a fab time wandering around the docks area and the Three Graces in the sunshine. Didn't do everything we had planned but enjoyed what we did and will return.
3. Spent a lovely day at Port Sunlight, the main reason for our trip. The museum and worker's cottage were fascinating and the Lady Lever Art Gallery was a joy. Again, we will re-visit, too much to take in in one go.
4. Hopefully, after a fortnight, my sister will go home today. She has had a pacemaker fitted this time but needs to go to another specialist hospital for further tests as something new was found on one of the scans. Anyway, she feels somewhat reassured and confident to go home.
5. As always, lovely to be home, just poodling and pottering. A stack of new library books to read and a trip to a favoutire garden centre today for bedding plants and coffee. Aiming for a quiet week before we go on holiday but who knows?!

Will read back and catch up on all your news shortly, hope you all enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend.

For Thursday ( and is it really Thursday teatime already? )

Up early and then had dozed off again and had weird dreams after intending to be up and at ‘em this morning.

Went to vote this morning and this lady said as we got out our cars at similar times…you obviously know a shortcut! She’d been behind me leaving our estate and then I had arrived just before her…and we kind of left at the same time so I waited for her to catch up behind me and she followed me out! The slightly shorter way.

Supermarket and a big treat to myself of full price flowers.,,my very favourite peonies.

It was so cold this morning and I was dressed in a summer dress and sandals…but changed into painty clothes to go round to DD2 and did a bit of painting! As I walked it started hailstoning! C’mon it’s May!
