Phoenix 5 – Wansfell Pike

Went to the lakes today with Phoenix 5 for the first time in two years and it was great to get out and be with the lads especially John who I always enjoy being around. It was an early start 5am and it was just John and I in my car because we are will […]

Christmas lights ON!

We went into Middlewich for the Christmas light switch on there is usually a craft fair and lots of fairground rides for the kids but again this year it was minimal but as always well attended. We met up with Kate Chris and their kids to watch the fireworks and go to the pub where […]

Naturalisation

Jamie has applied to the British Government to become a Citizen of Great Britain, to become a dual citizen like Reagan and Lincoln. It is the final step in her immigration journey, she does not have to do it because her Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) visa means she can live here without any other […]

MADPL 21/22 – Week 1

Started a new pool season tonight after the 2019/20 season was disrupted by Covid in March 2020 and finally completed in November 2021 so this new season was quickly turned around so they can try and get back in synch. Our first game was against Dishers away and to put this into perspective I have […]

Sobriety Update

Little update on my sobriety, most of the time it’s fine, it’s as if I have flicked the switch and I don’t even think about drinking but the real pinch point has to be after finishing work and cooking tea. This can be very difficult I think this time more than any other is my […]

Denver Broncos

You could say I am obsessed…a bit? I know Jamie never thought she would move 4500miles to be with a man that is Broncos mad, but I absolutely love watching them play live. Yes it has to be live, because of the excitement and anticipation you get with live sport, if it’s already happened you […]

Me Time

I decided to take some time for myself today and just go for a walk so I got Billy and headed down the canal towards Sandbach and turned at Dragons Lane and headed towards Wimboldsley. It was a crisp day when we set out but it soon started to snow which I can’t remember the […]

Just need the photo…

I remember taking the original photo but I don’t remember what they were waiting for, Mommy was not there maybe it was Mommy, anyway I took it and then each year I have taken the same photo each Thanksgiving. I hope I can continue doing this for many many years to come! I love these […]

The day after

Jamie and I went for a walk up to Norman’s Wood to let Billy run off a head of steam. We were hoping for a lovely crisp frosty morning but what we got was a dark wet blustery November morning, not that Billy cared! It may have been wet but what a beautiful autumn scene […]

Thanksgiving 2021

Jamie added the Facebook post below and I just though no matter what I write today this would sum it up better We had such an amazing thanksgiving and felt so lucky to be able to bring the family back around the table to celebrate together. A few people were missing and obviously my family […]
