Deal, Abingdon, Overseas would immediately spring to mind as being better.

Clearly you've not been to darkest Russia then.....

A place where there's plenty of institutions frequented by old folk. A place where the food and wine seems to be free. A place where I can stare out of the window and have the odd clever thought. A place stuck in the 1920s...........a bit like the opening chapters of Brideshead Revisited. Now where did I put my teddy bear?

This place is stuck in the 1960's. There is still an early closing day, and very few shops open on Sunday, for example Tesco Express and two cafés. I have no idea where the nearest Costa lot coffee shop is, and the nearest Ikea is about thirty miles away. There is a Library and a small leisure centre and an excellent arts centre.

That sounds like my sort of place, Wol. If I get the sack as Mrs R's bedder, have you got a spare room?

It is currently full of knitting wool, fabric and my sewing machine, but I could move all of that. Would you like to help me in the garden while you are here?

 

[Speicher]

Yes!! That's the best offer I've had today. Would Bob mind?

Bob would not mind, but on second thoughts Tasha will have a lot to say about that. She guards the garden from all invaders.

But going to a better place :-)

Oi

Well I wouldn't want to offend her. I'd better move in with Mr Benn.

You wouldn't like Mr Benn, he's changed.

Porridge was breakfast ... so a bit of cholesterol in there @Lullabelle (as it's made with milk), then lunch was home made mushroom and fennel soup... so a nob of butter, but of milk and a dash of cream.... yep more cholesterol! I'm not going to enjoy food no where near as much once they start mentioning high cholesterol at the surgery.... it creeps in all over the place!

And the best news of today.... beautifully sunny, we had dull days when some of the rest of you had sunshine so today is glorious!

And last night was the first night I noticed it being lighter in the evening we are on the way up!

I know, I've used the M6 myself.

 

[tyred]

Oo will there be photos?

Yes but the sun was so low in the sky and so incredibly strong it was difficult to take them as I'd have liked.

When I ordered gummed paper I thought it would have had sticky backing and not paper that had been in the mouth of someone who doesn't possess teeth.

Don't get her started!
