OLL - DT


Sorry I've not been blogging recently but we've been off jaunting and I've still been feeling yeuk!  I got a dreadful cold just before George and I went off and I'm always left with catarrh which leads to hearing loss and my head feels as if it's wrapped in cotton wool inside a goldfish bowl.  (Conjures up a delightful picture eh!)  The doc gave me a nasal spray but it makes me feel nauseous, grrrrrr I can't win these days! Not to worry, yesterday I blew my nose and my ear popped and I've been hearing a bit better since then so hopefully I'm on the road to recovery again.

Anyway apart from all that we did enjoy our time away and the golden wedding celebrations (which was the reason we were away) were fantastic.  There was a choral group entertained us after our delicious meal and they were brilliant. They did serious songs but also monologues and funny skits.  There were two older ladies in the group and they sang the song from the Sound of Music - I am 16 going on 17 except they were 60 going on 70 - what a laugh.

I'm back home but not back to normal just yet.  My granddaughter is still on school holidays and although her Mum is at home I've promised to take her a few places - that way she knows she gets spoiled!!!  Today we are off to Edinburgh for a trip round the Royal Yacht Britannia which is berthed at Ocean Terminal.  We are going to the shopping centre first to browse the shops, have some lunch then go on the yacht.  May have some photos for you after that!

I'm having a bit of a break from blogging at the moment as I'm off jaunting around the countryside!  I'm also having to dismantle the craft room as we have the painter coming in while we are away to give the whole house a makeover - can't wait!
