Hi everyone, tomorrow Mrs Tvman and I leave idyllic County Down and travel to Belfast for the Liverpool boat that docks in Birkenhead (weird). We're taking the car for the first time ever because we didn't want our flights cancelled or trains delayed or cancelled.

A couple of days in Chester and then on to Northborough, just outside Peterborough to visit my daughter, son in law and grandchildren Harry (6) and Lucy (1). Can't wait to see them all, haven't seen them since May. We used to go every month until the pandemic started and then it wasn't possible for me to travel.

I'll drop in now and again while I'm there just to see if you're all behaving yourselves, especially you Ulls

Take care and stay safe everyone

PS does anyone know what we could do in Chester on Friday? Not the zoo, my motorised scooter wouldn't manage the distances!

Hi Renny, very good of you to contact me, I don't think we have spoken before. The sun shone from dawn to dusk yesterday (Sunday). There was a raft race on the river in the next village that strangely enough we were here in 2018, the last year it was held. Numerous stalls and fairground rides also. Had a bbq back at my daughter's house in the evening and I was really tired by 8pm.

Take care Renny and stay safe

Thanks , we are, so far. Today Mrs Tvman and I took 6 year old Harry to Peterborough cathedral where there was a dinosaur exhibition, the t-rex from the British museum has been assembled in the cathedral and he had a great time. The sun is shining brightly all day long at a temperature of 30+°just like it shines in Pet1968's Australia. The grass is brown everywhere.

Take care and stay safe Rainie
