Morning All !

Another fine start to the day, bright and sunny. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Rita, Glad the wedding went well. Kilts ! Yes the first kilts were just a plain cloth. This was a large piece of cloth that draped over the shoulders and was held about the waist by a belt. It was also used as a blanket when sleeping.

Good productive day yesterday......and hopefully another one today :-) :-) :-)

Keep safe , keep well , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Yeah I hope your scan results are good Rita <3
I goolgled Mells as I'd never hesrd of it. I see there's a daffodil festival which takes place.
Wow a safari! you've got to hand it to your sister Rita.

Pat your well ahead planning next years holidays. we have thought where we would like to go. as I want to do a trip to Mells in Somset to visit my Horwood Ancestors graves in Mells and Frome.we must have a grave yard full of them.
but have done nothing as yet.?
A lot will depend on my scan results next week.

My sister is off on safri Friday for two and half weeks, in South Africa among other things. she said she is tired being as we only came back from Dorset yesterday I am not surprised.
she went to breakfast twice while we were there with her bedroom slippers on., I didnt tell her till we were in the lift going to our room.

Foggy thank you for letting us know about George. I hope he wore longer shorts and not those little skimpy ones as his sun burns will be very sore.
he needs a nice young blond to rub some suncream on his body.

I thought he only drank lemonade now why did I think that.?

Hage a nice evening Foggy.

Rita

Hi Rita,
Glad to hear that you had a nice time and the weather was good as well.
I hope you had a busy day Stephen. I'm watching the football at the moment.
Man. Utd are a goal down. :-P
One thing I've noticed about going tot he gym is that I've become more positive on myself :-D I've booked a holiday to I.O.W over Easter week-end next year! :-) :-D :-) :-D

Good evening ladies and Stephen.

A message from your board friend George,
He rang me today and asked me to tell you that he has sun burn.
Said it is a little to warm for him, but the kids love it and he cant keep them out of the pool.
He said, he has decided that sangria mixed with vodka is lethal.

that sounds about right for him.

Have a lovely evening ladies.
Foggy.

I have just read back three pages I did get good weather infact it never rained the whole time we were there. it rained when we got to the station at Christchurch to come home.

we did get a small hurrican I call it that as we walked to the quay to see the boats and it is full of sailing g boats small and big the wind was so bad it sounded like chuchbells as the rigging swung to and fro,., there were a lot of small sailing boats out at sea and had to make for the harbour so many of them came back some laying towards the water it was so strong. we walked along the the quayside and watched the sufers and sail sufers out at sea. I would never have gone out in that type of weather.
There is something funny that I want to tell you about. in the habour there were so many swans ans sea birds Mallards as well, I noticed in the water what looked like a Hippo so I took a photos as I did it moved. I thought . it was a model, ? it was but the wind blew and the Hippo moved. people walking by saw it and out came the camera. it was really comical to see them all taking photos.

Thank you Yvvone it is a blessing to be able to wish Michael a happy birthday last year he had been told he had cancer and they could not Operate then one of the surgeons said he would do it. and it was done in January. he is beging to look better, he wants to get back to work.

I have not read back yet on the thread.
I take it Marilyn has been intouch . I dont know where the day has gone. I have been making my appointments so next Tuesday will be the BIG day results of my scan. then I have my yearly medical on 22nd and 29th Warfarin blood test then 30th the hospital nurse who checks my circulation in my feet and ankles. so I have an MOT.


Hope everyone is keeping well. ? wonder how George got on , while on holiday. might have met a Bird LOL.

Rita

Hello everyone

Pleased your treatment has finished for now Jean, hoping for good news on the 26th

Marilyn sounds like you and Pete are having a good time, the train must have been fantastic, taking in all the views. Where are you in SF? When we went last year we stayed in a small hotel on the edge of the Tenderloin district, close to Market Street and Union Sq. Hope you get a chance to visit Alcatraz, it was fascinating.

Rita pleased the wedding went well and everyone had a lovely time, Best wishes to your son Micheal on his birthday <3


<3

Hello everyone. I am back form the wedding. not had chance to read the back threads yet will do that later. Stephen I gather your son is back home god bless him so nice to hear he is back with you.

My grandson Lee was all dressed in his dress uniform for the wedding I was so proud of him (Royal Engineers ) he looked so smart and said he loves the army life. he now had 5 serving medals of the places he has been sent to I pray he will not have to go back to Afganistan again twice is emough,
I am pleased to read your news Jean good Luck on the results. I have to go next Monday for my scan results. I hope I get good ones.

Stephen we had two Scots at the wedding, I didnt know who they were, they were to do with the groom and one wore a plain kilt so I asked him what clan it was.? he said he had no clan as such a mxiure but the plain kilts were worn long before tha clan kilts. is that right ? it was the first I heard of it.

By sheer chance the wedding before Georgia's there were two scots there as well. and they were wearing my McCallum kilts I just had time to chat to them before we went into our Wedding.

I have taken so lovely film of the wedding.;
I will be back later.

Love
Rita

Hello everyone, hope you are all well and not being troubled too much by the gales.
I would like to thank you all for your kind messages and thoughts, you have all helped me through a difficult time and I really appreciate it. No more treatment for the time being, go for a scan and blood test results on Monday 26th September, then they will know whether I need more treatment or just a monthly scan.
I see from reading the thread that some of our friends are on holiday, I do hope they are having a great time.
Stephen, great news that your son is home, I bet you are enjoying having him with you.
I am going to have an early night, just been to settle my horses down for the night.
Good night my friends, may your God keep you in his care through the night.

hope your knee gets better soon <3

Hello everyone, I've done my knee in, I was sitting on the caravan sofa, turned wrong and pulled my hamstring and the pain goes from my knee to the bottom of my foot, so I am on anti-inflamatories and have to keep my leg up, I can walk but I have one stiff leg.
