Hiccups?

So…I hope this new site is working for you. sometimes some of the pictures do not seem to show up for some, initially, but refreshing the page should sort this. Let me know if you have any other problems with it. Thanks.

‘Well, here’s another nice walk you’ve gotten me into!’

So…on Sunday we got away to South Lakeland, down the Barrow Peninsula, to Ulverston, birthplace of Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy fame. We were there to see Kate Rusby at The Coronation Hall in the evening but had time for a lovely walk up to the monument on Hoad Hill and dinner at The Mill back in town before Kate’s lovely concert.

Not the Three Stooges!

So…last week we had a lovely walk in the Lake District, near Lorton, on Low Fell…

Looking across the Solway Firth towards Criffel in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

So…last weekend we were back in London to amuse the boy for the day as his pre-school was shut for a training day. We went to ‘Discover’ in Stratford, an Imaginative Play centre and then we took him for a chicken pox jab in Islington. He didn’t even flinch! The Pharmacist at the chemist couldn’t believe it. We had a well deserved ice cream afterwards.

Collecting the past.

So…after being forced to change the website recently I am a little more uneasy and worried about losing all that is contained on these pages in the future. It is a document of my life since October 2013. What happens when I am not around or able to pay the domain fee or website subscription anymore, does it all disappear for good?

I am, therefore, currently copying and saving everything from the start. It is going to take quite a while to complete and when I have finished I want to go back and read everything again because in the process of collecting it all I am reading snippets and finding lots that I had forgotten about. There is just too much to lose.
