REFLECTIONS ON THE PAST TWO YEARS




It is almost time to go home. Hard to believe that nearly two years has passed, and even harder to recall all of the various places we have visited during that time.France/Austria/Czech Republic/Iceland/Norway/Egypt plus Cornwall/Yorkshire Dales/Isle of Mull/Isle of Wight and dozens of National Trust and English Heritage properties. I am so pleased that I took the time to record a lot of these visits in my Blogsite and it will be nostalgia gone mad when we view them in time to come.

I have caught up with some old friends. Mike Lebrocq in Bournemouth,John Shapiro in Greatham,Dick Lancaster in Dorset,Clive Bowring at Fritham and of course my brother Peter and his wife Mary plus family. We have made a few good friends also, in particular Ruth and Tim at Wansford who we will greatly miss.

The highlights are hard to pick. Dog sledding on a glacier in Iceland is one. Christmas in Norway with Baards parents and family. The week on the River Nile. Mrs Coates cottage in Yorkshire and the Cobblers Cottage in Cornwall. The week on the Isle of Mull and the hand dived scallops is right in there too.
