Month: September 2025

Jem and Dom bought me an olive tree for my birthday , obviously it needs a huge pot and so we went to the Garden Centre at Quex. We also had a walk around and then went for a coffee in the restaurant.

Mal went to the allotment. So many French beans, runner beans and tomatoes!

We have been watching Educating Yorkshire…it amuses Mal and takes him back to his teaching days!

We checked the weather forecast and believed them and so started our walk at 7.45. We have to remember that Ellie is much slower in her recuperation from the op. But is was an even longer walk for her, we depend on her to tell us.

We went along the Rope Walk to the cricket pitch. Five minutes after we arrived home the heavens opened!

A bit too wet to do much!

We chatted to one of our neighbours when we walked Ellie. She works at Manston at the processing centre for the boat people. Contrary to what the news says, there have been no boats since Bank Holiday! People seriously shouldn’t believe everything they read or hear on the news.

A quick trip to Tesco and then a lot of rain.

We walked Ellie and it started raining, so we were a little wet by the time we returned home. Ellie was walking very slowly, maybe because it is a bit cooler and her joints are more painful.

A day indoors which we are not used to! I guess we need the rain.

A busy day at work!

Meanwhile at home, our boiler service by British Gas, all good. They don’t appear to be very busy as we only booked it last Thursday.
