Certainly not like that.. winter here, cold and grey and under night time curfew and daytime not allowed to travel more than 5 km from home. Allowed out for only one hour of exercise and one shopping 🛒 trip to closest supermarket each day.

So not a bundle of fun..

So don’t forget me when you’re on your island
Swimming in the sun and having loads of fun

‘cos I’ll be thinking of you..

Here is where, LS?

30°c now, on the south coast of the UK.

Expected to hit 36°c - in a day, or so.

No need to travel - for a better climate!



The biggest problem in the UK now - is finding a mask with a built-in flap - to facilitate the drinking of beer.

For once I am in agreement with Barney that the drinking of beer in a hassle free attractive pub is the biggest challenge!

I have had the worst summer of my life as my wife was diagnosed with cancer but, after a month of waiting to find out if it has spread, we learned this week it has not.

We can cautiously look forward to a positive future, and the kids.

So while stuck in the UK cos of above, anywhere is a wonderfully happy place to me at the moment this summer. If I could bottle this renewed love for life and send it to you all I would; it is the best drug going.

Enjoy the summer all, forget the little things, life is a blessing and all this madness in the world at the momemt will pass.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife, wyot. I hope she makes a good recovery.
