Golly I can't believe how many of you remember me
Thank you all for the warm welcome Hopefully I shall pick up the new way of posting on and not get too muddled
. I am just off up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire as my old Mum would have said
One of my eldest DD's presents at Christmas was the huge doorstopper of a book by my favourite author Ken Follett and I have been reading some every night .Down to the last 100 or so pages ( 816 in all) its called Never and I'm really enjoying it.
One of my friends is due to have a heart operation shortly and I promised her I would loan it to her so I want to get it finished before she goes in.The way things are at the moment she's hoping for February but who knows It will be in St Thomas's in London so with luck she may get a room with a view of the river and the Houses of Parliament smiley:
Right,
night ,night God Bless all here
JackieO xx
P.S. still in Kent at the moment, just awaiting to see how Mikey's 'A' levels pan out in June to see where he will go in September to Uni.
Must get the boys all settled then fingers crossed we shall be on the move to our beloved Isle of Wight. We have a holiday booked there in July for a couple of weeks anyway, so possibly be combining it with a bit of house hunting as well..12 -

Gosh how could I have forgotten to put my youngest granddaughter Holly in She is Danny's younger sister and a primary school teacher in Kent She managed after four attempts to finally tie the knot last August in Canterbury. Covid truly mess up their plans for 18 months but iit was a beautiful day and her brother and his lovely wife Hayley managed to come over from America and stayed for 6 weeks .he can work from his laptop virtually anywhere in the world as long as there is a good wi-fi signal. her and her husband are booked to go to New York next month for their honeymoon so they will see her brother while out there. I think she is hoping to start a family next year as well so maybe more knitting for me to doSuffolksue said:I lurked and loved your posts .I always thought you had two granddaughters,must be muddled,
my granddaughter is now in her first year at Aston ,doesn’t time fly
so lad you’re back

Another lurker who’s pleased to see you back!Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.5

Yes! She's back in the room!
I remember your tales of how you and your tribe invaded the Isle of Wight every summer, you must have really missed it when things came to a halt the other year.One life - your life - live it!6 -
Lovely to see you back JackieO, I was just going to turn off and thought 'just one more quick look at os' you've made my night but I'm off to bed now! May the brown purse stay closed
