    Sorry to read you are having a rough time at the moment.

    Your dad's day out sounded lovely. You didn't visit a vineyard at my side of the hills did you? XX

    Out of office is on until Tuesday yay. Picked Dad up from hospital appointment, much better than last time when we were there for hours. Hoping to have my hair done , but hairdresser not well so could be going away with some grey hair. Such a minor issue in reality .

    Have spends all sorted , no idea what to pack , as weather looks very mixed . Dare I say I am looking forward to my trip. Need to eat up any food that is left , there isn't much just a weird combination for this evening.

    Away for a cup of tea and to pack.

  • I'm glad your dad enjoyed his birthday treat and his appointment was quick.

    Have a lovely relaxing holiday in Jersey and forget all your worries until you get back :). And pack layers; tee shirts, a light cardie or jumper, and a waterproof coat.
