Good news
Argentina photos to come (lucky you hey?) – but thought I'd share the very very good pre-Xmas news with you. Had the 2-monthly joy of seeing Prof this Thursday. Mercifully quick one as he was doubled up on people having cancelled everyone (me included) from the day before. I got the results yesterday while in Waitrose,…

We’re baaaaaaaack
So the 2 weeks of winter sun are truly done and dusted. Finally shook off the (yes it was only a) tummy bug with the second charming vomit in the hotel room sink. Oh yes, and over the bathmat, sorry Senora Cleaner. And that one was actually caused by me trying to take a tablet…

Scrumpy Lookee-Likies Come to Stay
DOG CHAOS! We welcomed the lovely David & Mandy Brigham (Hawksey's chums who live up in Harrogate), down to stay with us, as David was picking up his flashy new Specialized bike (another Mr H 'snazzy-bike-for-a-bargain' deal). And it wasn't just them – they came down with their furry family: The lovely liver coloured Libby…

Three Peaks Thank You
So, Joanna Close (who organised the group of girls to climb the Three Peaks, in aid of Myeloma UK), got a call from the charity people, who wanted to thank us all. It seems we raised such a HUGE amount of money that they couldn't resist meeting us, so off we trotted to a pizza joint…

Mr H plus supposedly 'just a couple of squeezes of bubble bath' = frothy overflowing lava field in our cottage's bathroom. And that was BEFORE I then got in….
