Well the last year and a half has been difficult for many people with over five millions deaths globally. We have had a few friends who have also been affected but thankfully no deaths have been recorded.
To fin in the time when you are grounded we have worked hard on the new house in West Byfleet with quite a bit of cash being spent on new bedroom storage , new garden plants etc and so now we can say pretty much its done. The last thing to be fitted was a sun awning which cost quite a it and there was a production delay from the German supplier so by the time it arrived and was fitted the sun had departed, almost.
Noel had a total knee replacement in mid-July with three nights in hospital followed by nearly two weeks in re-hab hospital in Guildford and so as it designed to to be an enhanced recovery programme, well within the first two weeks I was able to get the new knee bending in all the right places. Writing this blog in mid November the knee is great except for some ongoing swelling in the ankle and calf which I understand could go on for a while yet, lets wait and see. We have a Caribbean cruise booked in mid-February followed by a couple of months on Florida, yes back to Rotondo West, subject to Covid rules of course.
Other news is that we changed our caravan for a brand new Bailey Porto , its a lot larger than the previous caravan but as I have given up towing, perhaps a little old for that, it is now on a seasonal site in Waterrow near Taunton which also happens to be near where our daughter Joanne and family live and so it great for visiting the grandchildren without imposing ourselves on them.
So as mentioned earlier I wanted to start blogging again as we are currently on a tour of Cornwall and thought it would be good to record where we visited etc.
So see you on next few pages.
