The house is set in loads of formal gardens ... as well as a lot of parkland, with deer and sheep.  We walked for over 3 hours, chatting ... and taking photos (of which these are a few)

Christine (from Church) and I drove to Cornwall to visit Mount Edgecumbe.  It is a Tudor house set in council owned grounds.  The house was gutted during the war, but the walls were pretty OK, so it was re-built after the war.  We had a great time ... lunch and then visiting the house first ....

What a busy few days .... sorry I didn't update when I came back from Plymouth.

Christine and I had a great day ... the weather was lovely, and we walked miles. I took loads of photos, so will try to share at some point.

I did a day and a half work ... then took mum for a chest x-ray. Today it's been busy ... doing some shopping for mum, gave Jiffy a shower, then dad and I did gardening ... an hour in the morning, then lunch, then another hour this afternoon. Then did the weekly shop, made tea and now watching TV with mum and dad ... an episode of The Waltons.

So life is busy ... but trying to keep in touch with you all

Ooooppps

I told you I would update ... and didn't... sorry😱

Things were as ever busy as I ended up having a weird suprize double filling at the dentizt.

I also had to take Jiffy to the vets, take dad shopping ... and then organise for mums birthday on Sunday.

Tim and Claire came for the afternoon and tea ... so had a good time.

Yesterday I had to leave work early but instead of a snooze then had to go to town as my phone totally died.

Today I am aching and tired ... but off for the day out with my friend Christine ... having just sorted out meals.

I will try to post pics later .. and poss do the meme I have spotted on friends pages ... I will also try to catch up with those posts.

Off to catch a train 🙋

A couple of weeks ago Christine and I managed to nip to Plymouth for a few hours.  I needed a bit of a break, and she needed some clothes.  So we went on the train, and ended up getting soaked in the historic part of the city ... she didn't shop, but I got my camera out!

Last Friday I had arranged with Christine to go to one of the Stately Homes ... only to wake up to torrential rain.  We met, anyway and decided to head to Plymouth ... because, at least that way, we could wander round the shops.

We got there, and shopped ... and coffeed, and wandered ...and chatted.  I actually got a couple of things for birthdays, so that was good.  We had a late lunch, by which time, the weather was drying up ... so we walked up to Plymouth Hoe .... Home of the Edison Lighthouse, and where Sir Francis Drake played bowls while waiting for the Amarda to arrive.

From there it was on to The Barbican ... to see where the Colonials left our shores -

On the way back to the car we saw this structure of a Galapagos tortoise in a Peace Garden ... although, I chose to have my photo taken in front of one of the anchors of The Ark Royal.

A great day out.

I have just come in from a great day out in Plymouth with my friend Christine. We were very lucky with the weather ... and eventually a pic scam will arrive.


However, until then, here is a picture especially for the Americans ... I am standing on Mayflower Steps.

As I said, I had a physio appointment this morning - and have had to go to Derriford Hospital, Plymouth as I've been seeing a specialist.  It's about an hour and a half's drive from me - but is also one of my nearest main hospital.
