It’s been a while since I’ve caught up on the blog, but it’s good to get back on it. It’s been quite a rollercoaster of weather here in the UK lately – one moment we’re basking in sunshine and the next we’re bracing ourselves for some biblical event. But that hasn’t stopped us from enjoyingContinueContinue reading “Cambridge, the British weather and the Ouse burst its banks”

A long weekend in North Yorkshire
We left Cobham at just after midday on Friday and headed north, to spend a long weekend with Seb and Ally. It’s just over 220 miles door to door.

A funeral and catching up with Rhubarb in Cobham
The main reason for heading back to the UK was for Rachel’s fathers funeral, which took place in Whitstable in Kent. Fred, Rachel’s dad had chosen the church whilst spending a long summer there with Rachel’s sister Ruth. We made the journey from Hartford, which took us across & through the Dartford Crossing, (the busiestContinueContinue reading “A funeral and catching up with Rhubarb in Cobham”
Time to leave the UK. We’re off to Morocco
It’s was the last visit to Huntingdon to bid farewell to our parents, the last time we spent this amount of time with our parents, we were kids and testing times aside it’s been really nice immersing ourselves in their lives again.

A Lonnnng hot summer
We’ve been lying low around the Guildford area and not doing as much socialising as we’d like, as I need to stay virus free, for some treatment I’ve been having. So all of our socialising has been outside, which has been perfect, as it’s been too hot to be inside! The summer has been absolutelyContinueContinue reading “A Lonnnng hot summer”

Time with the folks and more fun with good friends.
Wow! it’s nearly 3 weeks since we arrived back in the UK and that time has really raced by. We’ve split our time between my parents, (which works well for Rach as her folks aren’t far away) & my brothers house further south. When we first arrived the weather was a bit hit and missContinueContinue reading “Time with the folks and more fun with good friends.”
Goodbye friends and family. Next stop Antalya, Turkey
It’s been a couple of weeks since I updated the blog, so I thought I’d provide a quick update on what we’ve been up to, which is a lot more of the same really, but really enjoyable.

Looking in on family and catching up with friends.
We spent the week with our parents, which after 4 months away has been nice to do, just helping out with some of the mundane tasks whilst doing the fun stuff too. After the morning exercise program, we’ve taken some really lovely early morning walks with my mum along the banks of the River Ouse.ContinueContinue reading “Looking in on family and catching up with friends.”
