Harrogate & The Great Yorkshire Show
Am sitting on the train as I type, with H, on our way back from 4 nights up in Harrogate at David & Mandy's lovely home. Lots of reasons to visit – starting with a nice bottle of Ruinart to celebrate David having sold his IFA business into a larger provider, step one on the…

2 nights with the Helens
I just LOVE that nearly 40 years since we met at Catz, I am still such good friends with the ever wonderful Helens Tebay and Vickery. And that we manage to carve out a couple of days every year…

Maureen’s 86th Birthday
Well, it took 6 months but finally the love told lady who I visit, Maureen, is in the 'right' care home (the one of her choice, not the shitty cheap one that Wandsworth Council's lazy gits dumped her in), and even better – her friends and I are now allowed to take her out if…

Queens with Liz
And didn't we have a lovely sunny day for it this year! Not as utterly sweltering as 1-2 have been, but a perfect British summer's day. More than hot enough for us to polish off a jug of Pimms between us in about 5 minutes flat… oh and watch some tennis as well. …

So – it's been a pretty good week all round! Mr H, brown as a berry obvs, has returned to the land of Dora from his full 6 week stint in Chiclana. Maddie made it back safely with H and trusty wingman Jules in the car,…

Back at home
Well, its been a wild first 10 days back at home. Day 1 – back to CCL, where AT LAST we no longer have to wear a mask to go in for chemo. There's a nurse called Leshay who has been working in the chemo suite for 3 years and this was the first time…

Final Spanish visitors
Writing this now from back in Blighty – I got home Sunday night, while Mr H is still out in Spain for another 2 weeks. Back to the joys of 2 lots of chemo and a bone marrow biopsy this week, and a PET CT scan next week – ah yes, back down to earth…
