We went to the MHF Global at Hatton at Warwick and had a fab time.
The Catch up--
Hi we have travelled to Hurley river Park at Hurley Maidenhead on our way to Warwick.
Arriving Tuesday we settled in and had a walk along the river looking at Parkhomes that have been sited so near the river’ but are very nice and love the location.
Our younger son came to visit with his family which was a pleasure.
Wednesday we got up to a very wet day but this didnt dampen our spirits and we walked down through a farm and into the village which led us to Hurley Lock where we watched the boats going down and then up as they went on their journey’s.
The boat people were very friendly and we spent a while passing the time of day with each of them.
In the evening Terry came and picked us up and took us back to dinner and we chatted away the evening until it was time to come back to the Park and so to bed.
Today we have been for another walk to the lock and shopped in the village shop so that we have plenty in the cupboards to see us through the weekend at Hatton where we move on in the morning.
Im really looking forward to the rally with so many of my cyber friends.
The rain has finally stopped and we have had another walk around the river. had dinner and will soon go to bed.
There have been so many tenter’s here with young children and dispite the weather they have all had a great time and so well behaved.
The parents have bought tents as they say holiday’s abroad are to expensive but they have had a super time at Legoland as this site is near there.
Well back on the road tomorrow and off to Hatton and its my brithday yipee!!!
At Hatton for the bank holiday--------
It was my birthday on the Friday and I had so many cards and best wishes it was great.
The weather could have been better but there was so much warmth from my friends it just didn't matter and we were able to sit around and chat away.
I had a friend talk to me about the fact she was born and lived on a Blue Asbestos Mine in South Africa and her Father died of Meso and her Mother died of Lung Cancer (that just has to be meso) and she was so worried after what has happened to me that she went to the Doctors to ask for a Scan.
The Doctor has said that as she is showing no Symptoms she will not allow it as its not necessary and that she will go and stud the subject as she know little about the condition.
How can that be the right answer --with a history like that-- of coarse she is worried.
I have told her to have a private MRI Scan as the money that will cost must be an advantage to put her mind at rest.
She is going to do that.
Another friend has a Cousin who has just been diagnosed so I was able to tell him all I have been through and told him to get his Cousin to read my blog where I hope I can help him with all the info I have collected over this year and a half since I was diagnosed.
Well back to my weekend.
Saturday we walked in a Pumpkin field that was at Hatton Animal Park where they are growing huge Pumpkins for Halloween where the children will carve them out and put candles in.
We had a dog show in the afternoon and Louis was entered which we hoped he would behave.
Behave he did as we walked past the line of dogs and he stood so very quiet as the judges looked the line of dogs over.
he didn't win but he was a winner to us and we gave him a treat when he went back to the M/Home.
That evening we had an open air concert by an Elvis impersonator and Kenny J who looks like Freddy Star--he is just as hilarious.
We danced the night away and had a really goodnight.
Sunday was a walk by the canal and then back for a walk through the fields with Louis of lead and chasing the ball.
The evening was a quiz night and then more entertainment from Kenny J and dancing just a great time.
Monday we walked Louis with Gerald's dog Tess and Mo's dogs so Louis has had a special time with his friends.
He really wasn't a problem anymore which he really proved when the 2 Jack's jumped out of the M/Home window and chased him all over the campsite.
Well Tuesday saw us having to say goodbye to everyone as we all returned home to the washing and getting the M/Home ready for this weekend as we are off to Canterbury.
I really have a new lease of life--another chance to enjoy life to the full for a little while longer than I first thought.
