182 and still counting

As I crawled into bed last night, exhausted after hosting Ian and Jim as they passed through on their vacation, I snuggled down Jamie said “Did you do a blog today?” waking me up instantly. Looking at the clock it said 12:34 which meant Mey streak was over, I had blogged everyday for 180 days […]

Welcome to Middlewich

Excitedly we set off for Manchester to meet the boys and with the help of satnav we swiftly made it to the NCP carpark we asked them to wait by but because I was so stressed driving in the city centre I forgot to capture the AMAZING hug old freinds give each other after years […]

Excited

Mommy is sooo excited because Ian Bawn is in the country and coming to visit tomorrow and staying for a couple of days. Let me explain, Jamie was living with Ian (along with Danny Archuleta who sadly passed away in 2019) when I first met her, in a house in Grant Street, Denver. I think […]

Gin Rummy but no gin

Lincoln has been really good considering Reagan is away and both Mommy and me are working he has had to amuse himself all day so when the sun came out earlier today and both Jamie’s afternoon clients cancelled she took him to Pickmere for a swim which he’d been desperate to do for ages.

And then there were 3

Took Reagan to Staffordshire Show Ground today for the church camping trip. Spent most of the day there helping everyone put up their tents and get Reagan and her friend settled in their tent before driving away leaving her to it. We had not eaten all day because we thought we were just going to […]

Music moment

I picked up the guitar again today for the first time in a long time and enjoyed 20 minutes plucking away at the opening riff of Redemption Song by Bob Marley. It’s very rewarding to hear a recognisable tune eminate from a musical instrument I am playing. Reagan was home this afternoon and came down […]

Summer?

Sometimes it would be nice if the weather was just nice? 20? and fine for days would be summer, and yes I know it’s impossible to predict the weather nor guarantee it but cold and damp when it should be summer is depressing. I’d love to get out and do a bit on my shed […]

Getting up

Watching Lincoln bat tonight it was so frustrating to see him missing the ball and then getting hit which I know from experience hurts but it makes me proud when I watch him get up even though I know he’s in a bit of pain. It takes a lot to bat on at that age. […]
