Well finally they announced that Caravan sites will open on 4th of July and so we can go to our once the existing caravan can be moved which is due to happen today and so we are planning to travel down to Wiviiscombe via our daughters house in Taunton then pen the night in Wivi and collect our baggage trailer from the Storage Container with the view to getting the awning up and the caravan ready for occupation the same day. We had originally planned to leave the apartment on Monday and then via Taunton to Wivi and that would take about four hours out of our day and we need the time to set up the caravan whilst recovering from the journey as we are not getting any younger.
During the past week we have seen friends in Reading and Weybridge and over the next couple of days need to reorganise the post box to forward our mail to the caravan site in Waterrow. We had a visit from Michael and Ethan yesterday which was lovely and great to see such a beautiful growing boy who is almost potty trained and less than two years old. We have decided to help Michael purchase a new car as his existing Volvo is very old but now has done 145000 miles and not reliable which is the last thing to have when you are travelling with a young child and dog and of course a very important wife.
We will be reaching our 50th Wedding Anniversary next May on 31st 2021 and have been considering how to celebrate and have finally decided on a cruise in the Eastern Med and so late May we fly to Istanbul and then take a Seabourn Ships cruise around the Greek Islands and finishing in Venice, but we also plan to have a few extra days around Istanbul and perhaps other places in Turkey but we have to work an an itinerary.
Noel has had his 5 year cancer check up with a blood test and CT Scan earlier this week with the result being advised next week, its a little slow at the moment as all resources are busy due to COVID but hoping for a good result. Also had a biopsy on my leg where there is a wound which will not heal and so waiting for the NHS to report back and if there is any delay then will go private as my insurance will cover this.
Have been watching the shenanigans with China over Hong Kong where the UK has offered a special citizenship to nearly three million people, where we will put them I don't know but then again a lot may be living in the Uk currently, we shall see what happens but the Hong Kong Chinese are very industrious people and very hard working and if they come to the Uk they will add something unlike other nationalities currently residing here.
The death toll due COVID is very bad but difficult to compare to other countries as the stats are produced in a different way by each country so we will have to wait but the problems in the USA and Latin America is very bad as is further break outs in Australia and Germany so we shall have to be careful.
Finally on BREXIT the EU still does not seem to understand that we do not wan their rules and regulations because if we do accept then they can still rule what we can a cannot do and it looks like our chief negotiator is doing an exvellent job as he is really pissing off the Mr Barnier and his colleagues in crime.
