I’ve been busy having a birthday! It was a long one this year. Alex came home from university on Friday evening, I had presents on Saturday as well as friends round in the evening, had my actual birthday on Monday with lunch out, then went out this evening for a proper birthday [...]

Tuesday 13 October 2009
I went to Wedmore yesterday with my friend Mandy. She grew up around there and although it isn’t far away I’m ashamed to say I’ve never stopped there. I’ve driven through it on the way to other places and have often thought how pretty it looks, but never stopped. The weather was [...]

Friday 28 August 2009
To Terri, my sister. It’s her birthday today and tonight we’re all going out for a surprise party. It’s OK, I can announce her surprise party even if she looks here because Dad let the cat out of the bag several days ago. He says no-one told him it was a surprise, [...]

Wednesday 13 May 2009
Terri and I flew up to Glasgow last Thursday on a very early flight. When we arrived it was raining so we hopped on a bus (OK, this is a novelty for us country girls) and went into the city centre. We’d taken overnight bags which at that stage weren’t particularly heavy, [...]

Thursday 9 April 2009
I’m having one of those months where everything seems to be done at a gallop. I’m the sort of person who considers my social calendar busy with just one commitment a day, and here I am at the moment with at least three places I have to be on a daily basis.
Today [...]

Sunday 14 December 2008
A couple of days ago our neighbour came over to ask us if we’d like to help the family celebrate her husband’s 60th birthday with lunch on a steam train, one of his interests. We said we’d be delighted so this morning at 10.00 am we set off for Cornwall, which was [...]

Wednesday 10 December 2008
Yesterday Gordon and I went Christmas shopping together in Taunton. It’s something we do just the once; Gordon buys presents for me and I end up desperately looking for something to give everyone else. I’m not sure how that came about, but it’s fairly clear that he gets the better part of [...]
Retail Therapy?

Monday 8 December 2008
Terri and I went shopping in Bridgwater today, mainly to spend the Morrison’s stamps mum’s been accumulating this year as a present for us both. It’s odd to be given vouchers for a grocery-type shop, but we bought drinks for Christmas and various ‘luxuries’ that we wouldn’t normally get.
We then raided Asda [...]
Back Again (Well, Kind of)

Saturday 6 December 2008
On Tuesday evening, just as my cold was developing, we went skittling with some of the fellow members of our road in the nearest pub. I don’t think I’ve skittled since I gave up work pre-children, so my first attempt was a very shaky two! However, I’m glad to say I improved [...]
Hitting the Ground Running

Friday 28 November 2008
Yesterday we all hit the ground running. Milking, the funeral of Daniel’s paternal grandmother in Bridgwater, the unexpected and very sad death of Stephanie’s cat Willow (due to an unknown tumour as it turns out), a doctor’s appointment that should have taken ten minutes but kept us hanging around for forty-five minutes [...]
