A lovely day for my ride. Sun shining and up to 15 degrees.. in November! Met MikeB at Brenchley then off to coffee at Hartley. Only take aways allowed. I can understand the need for the general rule in lockdown but the cafe had a nice outdoor decking with tables and chairs but we were […]
I took Sue to meet her birthday tree in Dering Wood today. After our delicious veggie sausage rolls and coffee at the Headcorn airfield cafe we went into the soggy Woodland Trust woods near Pluckley and found Grove 3. There we selected a tree. Sue liked the idea of a young tree, don’t know what […]
Mum was waiting patiently for me as I was about 10 mins late due to Loose Rd blocked with traffic. After the usual “how are you, Mum?” I got the same usual 30 sec response.”Not a good day I was up in the night feeling dizzy” Once that was out of the way we had […]
A wet and windy day brought more news of the loss of two great well known people. Entertainer Des O’Connor aged 88 and Liverpool and England football legend, Ray Clemence. He was only 72 and died of prostate cancer. Both sad losses and will be missed by millions. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton who today has […]
Apparently Mum played Scatterpack in Activities today. That’s interesting, I’ve never heard of it! My Connect 4 that I ordered online arrived today. It is rubbish, too small and fiddly, Mum will have difficulty. Trouble is I can’t pop out and buy another proper one as toyshops are closed and I go to see Mum […]
At Sue’s request we visited Hastings for a long walk along the front taking in lung fulls of oxygen and ozone in the fresh virus free air. Hastings has one of the lowest number of reported Covid cases in the Country. Nobody knows why really, but it might be the ozone from the sea breeze […]
15 degrees this afternoon, so we have made the most of it. I did another couple of charity collections then Sue wanted a ride out so we took her friends birthday present to her in Bearsted. We went through Mote Park, amazed at number of people out walking and enjoying the sunshine. Not everyone social […]
I had a call from Chris the Barty maintenance man who told me one wheel on Mum’s trolley had gone kaput and needed repairing. He had some spare parts and was happy to mend it but as it is Mum’s property he has to get my permission. I was more than happy and he is […]
I did my second collection of Xmas items for Involve. I had placed a request to my local Loose Community FB page. As a result I have had just one positive offer which I collected this morning. A couple of others said they will be in touch when they have been shopping. I have set […]
This morning I collected my first two donations of food for the Involve charity who will be preparing and distributing 200 hampers for the elderly and isolated people in the Maidstone area. Our Rotary Club are collecting items for donation from local people so I decided to take the opportunity locally of cycling with my […]
