Chocolate Experience
For some slightly obscure reason, I booked us in for a half day's chocolate making experience on my actual birthday, it being a miserable Monday and usually pouring with end of October rain. Typically, it was a gorgeous day so we weren't too sure when we rocked up in Chichester if it was still a…

Piggy Pleasures
Nipped down to the first of the Pig hotels in Brockenhurst on Sunday, for a spot of pre birthday piggery. Delicious seafood lunch in Leamington, where we used to keep our boat, then a quick brisk walk at the back – the hubby and I even shared a Mr Whippy, it was that warm.…

Don't worry – not much to report but thought it might be time for an update. On the post-transplant front, things are so far still ok. No Paraprotein visible, and Dara band (the good thing that shows the monthly drug is present in my system) is visible. And in many ways, most health-related things are…

Dit dit dit, dat dat dat..

Girls Do Brighton
Fab couple of nights at the cottage last weekend with Janine, Sarah, Jane and Clare G. Ross said 'have a great squeaky time' and he wasn't far off the truth – pretty much incessant nattering, yakking and catching up over 48 hours is a very good tonic for the soul. Popped down to Brighton on…
