We’ve busied ourselves dressing the house for Christmas. I’ll be honest, I’ve always leaned more towards the Christmas humbug side of things, but less so as I get older. When the sparkly bits come to life at night and my mother turns into an excited child, it makes it all worth it. Peterborough Cathedral wasContinueContinue reading “Christmas & New Year”

Winds, Roads, & Old friends
We’ve moved apartments, which has probably been one of our easiest moves since we started travelling. Our small place is just a stone’s throw from our last, along the promenade, which means we’ve also managed to hold onto our little daily routine for a bit longer. We’re now on the eleventh (and top) floor, withContinueContinue reading “Winds, Roads, & Old friends”
Salerno & Pompeii
With the rain starting to fall more regularly, we decided it was time to head off again. After a quick hike up the M11, we once again found ourselves at Stansted Airport, this time travelling with longtime friends Jon and Jo, who would be staying with us for the first week. After an uneventful flightContinueContinue reading “Salerno & Pompeii”
A week in Cobham, with a trip to the theatre
With Mum back in fighting shape, the three of us headed down to Cobham to look after Rhubarb for the week, which is always a huge pleasure. We arrived late Sunday afternoon, and after giving Rhubarb a good cuddle—unfortunately, he’s lost most of his sight and hearing, but his nose is still good and he’sContinueContinue reading “A week in Cobham, with a trip to the theatre”
A weekend in Braintree, with a trip to Maldon
We’ve been making the best of our weather windows whilst in Hartford, which has been a mixture of cold and sunny, together with some torrential rain, the later of which caused the river Ouse to burst its banks again, so much so that it’s no longer a spectacle for us, to be fair though, there’sContinueContinue reading “A weekend in Braintree, with a trip to Maldon”
Getting together for a long weekend in Staffordshire
We’ve been quite busy visiting friends almost every week since our return about five weeks ago. Time has really flown by, and we recently had the chance to head into the city to celebrate Rachel Gill’s birthday along with Keith at a fantastic rooftop restaurant with a view over St. Paul’s. Catching up with friendsContinueContinue reading “Getting together for a long weekend in Staffordshire”
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.”
Friends in town – A boat trip, an ancient city and good food
We’ve had guests staying for the week, which has been great fun. Rachel & Keith rolled into town Tuesday evening and it was great to see them. Wednesday was a chilled day by the pool, but before then, Keith and I went for a early swim in the bay. I’m used to swimming alone, soContinueContinue reading “Friends in town – A boat trip, an ancient city and good food”
