This is one update that I am more than pleased to put into words and from reading my last blog entry you will know the reason why. On the 22nd of July I went into hospital to have a third of my large bowel removed and after a successful operation I am pleased to say the results could not be better! My bowel now needs time to settle down to it’s new routine and that can take months apparently but I’m just so glad that I didn’t wake up from the op with the d...

And we’re on the move! After so long being in the same place because of COVID and then buying a house, we are finally hitting the road again and it’s a great feeling. The completion date of our house purchase got put back a few days to 4th September so we only had a couple of hours that afternoon to do the final inspection and enjoy some time there.

It’s now the beginning of August and yes, we are still here at the caravan park in Tweed. It’s been four and a half months now and that’s a long time for us as we are used to being on the move all the time.

While the USA has a death toll heading towards 100,000 and the UK nearly 50,000 we are still sitting on only 102 (as of 26/5/20) here in Oz. That seems an unreal comparison...

The last few months have raced by yet again and we have had a wonderful time with the family! While we're were house sitting for Jo's neighbours as mentioned in the last blog, we were able to have Josh and Ellie come and stay for a few days which meant we had all our grandchildren together with us.
