My antibiotics for my mouth infection are having some effect now as the pressure is easing and it is a bit more comfortable. I had a bad and strange experience on Tuesday night. I suddenly felt tired and went to bed early but when I turned over I had extreme dizziness and a very uncomfortable […]
We are now allowed 2 nominated visitors to visit Mum so today Sue came with me . It made everything so much easier particularly as we were able to take Mum out in the garden for a short walk. Only around the decking and nearby path but it was such a relief and the weather […]
A solemn, relatively low key service, the Order of Service all pre-arranged by the DofE himself. Only 30 attended due to Covid rules, but the entire programme was brilliantly organised and carried out as would have been his wish. RIP Prince Philip. . I have just heard of another sad death today. One of our […]
Our little boy is 48 today, wow he is middle aged! He liked the garden lounger that we bought him, we just hope the boys don’t use it as trampoline. Natalie is still feeding the robins, they don’t look like being in a hurry to leave their cosy home just yet. I decided to stay […]
Now I am not one the complain….much, but for the past few days the right side of my face as been giving me a lot of jip. Not sure if it is a tooth or the jaw so I think it is time to contact the dentist. It hasn’t helped today as I seemed to […]

So far we have raised £850, with £10 of it raised on […]
He died peacefully in his sleep at Windsor today just 2 months before his 100th birthday. What a way to go. Not a bad innings and a remarkable career. He was certainly a character and will of course, be missed. Life goes on and I did my shift at Blackthorn this morning, without Sue! She […]
Sue and I had an update meeting with the new manager at Barty House today. David seems very nice , capable and enthusiastic and has already picked up on staff comments of how much they like Mum. We felt comfortable knowing that David is someone we can talk to if when the need arises. We […]
Yesterday we went to visit Stuart’s family in Woodley. Different weather than Beckenham 2 days before. This time we had lunch in the garden in high cold winds with blasts of snow showers! This didn’t deter us from having a good time. It was nice that Ollie was around and playing with the younger boys. […]
