    IThis was the day I was really looking forward to as we had made arrangements to meet with several friends to camp at the Caravan and Camping site at Canterbury. I was still being sick through the night was hoping it would get better to allow me to get away. As the morning went on I got better and better so we took Louis for a long walk even though I was very shaky but it was good as the sun was shinning and the tide…

    We showered and got dressed and Ray started baking apple crumble so I took the dog for a walk.
    It wasn’t raining as I went round so I slowly waked and it was nice to get out.
    When I got back Ray was underway washing up and getting everything out to make the Xmas Cake.
    It was great fun as he weighed…

     It was a very wet day, so much rain has fallen I think we need to start making an Ark.
    Just a lazy Monday then, pottering around the house, then a lazy shower and got lunch ready which was easy as I had cold meat from yesterday with the coleslaw I had made, all so easy.
    The phone went and it was Val all the way from Scotland on her way to Portugal for 6 months (lucky girl) 
    She was in the Canterbury Park and Ride…
Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
