  • Hi Lee 2, I'm in Germany and things seem to be different here. I have a year-round health travel insurance which I pay around 20 Euros for. They said I would be insured as before provided the doctor approved the trip. So I'll wait and see. I mean you are more likely to need the insurance for non-cancer-related events like falling downstairs or getting in a crash anyway. When are you going?

  • Happy birthday Annette, hope you had a wonderful day. Knowing your family, I'm sure they'll have spoiled you rotten as you're so kind to them all. 

    I'm in Legoland with Carol, Nicole, Ben Harry and Lucy. Carol and I travelled down from the Liverpool/Birkenhead overnight ferry, stayed overnight on Thursday, met Nicole etc on Friday night stayed overnight with everyone and then made our way to Legoland this morning and we're all sooo tired tonight having spent all day in Legoland.

    We're staying with Nicole etc for a week so I'll not be on site much, back Tuesday night of the following week.

  • Hi

    I am at the tail end of my holiday now. Just spend the last few days in Johannesburg, mainly resting and relaxing here. 


    Had marvellous time in Zambia. Very close to nature and relaxing. My body flared up a bit for a couple of times.  Nothing major and I was sensible for a change and immediately went to rest mode and was OK again. 

    At one Safari camp , I saw elephants and hippo walking right by me. There were also 10 lions roamed by but I only heard them roaring by. 


    Hope everyone is keeping well.

  • Hi Tvman, I’m sure you all enjoyed Legoland it is great for adults and children. Why should the children have ALL the fun!!

    Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes we all had a superb day! I got lots of lovely gifts including gift vouchers, money, flowers, my granddaughter (13)  made me a cushion in High School, Home Economics class, my youngest grandchild (10) made me a PowerPoint Presentation with photos of my last 5 birthdays, she even added music! One of my favourite songs “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. My grandson made me Coconut Ice, delicious! All 3 handmade my cards! My daughter made my cake, my son bought me 12 yellow Roses my favourites! If they’d given me £1million I wouldn’t have been any happier!  I am so very lucky!

    Love Annette x
