Whirlwind Week
There's one very lovely thing about coming back from 4 weeks away – which is catching up with everyone! Or as many as possible without getting too knackered in the process. Started with a BBQ at Pam's with Mark & George, a fine feast as always and very good to be sitting out in the…

Sailing Croatia
Sorry it's been a while since the last post – finally back from Croatia and back in our house after the tennis rental (luckily to no damage, and a tidier place than expected – just mountains of bedding, towels and clothes to be ironed, sorted etc). H and I had 2 weeks on the boat…

A Week in Henfield
In a touch of marvellous timing, Fi & Rich needed us to look after their house, Bob the dog and Meggie the cat while they went off to be young and groovy at Glastonbury – all coinciding brilliantly with us renting out our place for the tennis for the first time ever. So – a…

Miami & The T’s & C’s
Hellooooo!!!! Have just come back from another fab week in Miami and the Turks & Caicos islands, (much better than the Terms & Conditions Islands), mind full of turquoise water as I retune into reality. I just love Janine's and my girls’ weeks away. And it is still totally inexplicable why doing different versions of…

H in the Hebrides, S in Dora..
H was home for all of two days from Spain before he packed a different set of kit – bike winter wear mostly, brr – and headed off with the local Mamils to the Hebrides for a week's cycling the Hebridean Way, as you do (if you're very strangely inclined). An amusing set of pix…

A Week of Social Bits
It was time for the annual Scotty & Janine trip to the Natural History Museum this week, to go and see the 2024 Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, and of course snaffle a girls' lunch in South Ken while doing so. J had to go to a funeral last week so we moved the…

Back to Blighty – and CCL
Hello, hello… Spain already feels a bit of a while ago – and I've only been back 4 days! But was of course straight back to CCL on Tuesday to see Prof and start this month's chemo cycle, carrying on the normal routine until a change is needed. Although it was suggested that I have…

Spain – the final countdown
Only two days to go here now – and the time has actually flown. H and I made the most of our last few days together on our own, keeping up our morning walks/cycles – much to my phone's consternation, as it keeps telling me how much more exercise I am doing this month compared…

Spain – the Middle Bit
H and I have got about 10 days on our own, before Mark & Charlie come out to join us. We're only part way through but it's amazing how easy it is to settle into life here. You wake up to great weather, every day, with the odd bit of strong wind or something slightly…

Espana – the first 10 days…
Well, I finally made it to Salamanca! The city that H and Jules have been through several times but which had eluded me thus far. We had a very smooth sail from Portsmouth to Santander and sucked up the first few rays on the way, on the not exactly crowded back deck. …
