Went to Guys and rang a peal of Rutland on 3-4 called by Mark.  I went completely to pieces towards the end but struggled through and everyone else kept going in spite of my best efforts.

Butlins 2018

17 - 24th August 2018 Butlin's Bognor Regis Two 2-bedroomed "Seaside" apartments John, Carolyn, Me, Lorraine, Amanda, Leanne, Ollie, Bethany, Harrison, Aidan Photos I drove down to Bognor in the morning and arrived about 1 pm.  I got myself a sandwich and a coffee in the pavilion (and watched the Teletubbies show!) and then I walked to the station to meet the train with John, Carolyn, Leanne, Ollie and Aidan on board.  They weren't expecting me - and it was such a nice surprise we decided to go and meet the later train with the Majorca contingent on board. Waiting at the station for the train We had a lovely week doing all the usual things - it was nice for us all to be together again and spend some time together.  I tried to keep my step total up each day - and found pushing a pram to put either Aidan or Harrison (or both!) to sleep was a useful way of doing this.  I also walked into Bognor almost every day!  I also spent a lot of time at the ...

The next day was a busy one.  We had a 9.30 appointment with the Registrar in Newton Abbot to register the death, then we went to the funeral directors an...

Mon 25th August – Bank Holiday

Mike went off to the Chiswick Ringers Outing at 9 am and I had a lovely day in to myself.  It rained heavily and solidly all day so was not one for long walks.  I downloaded the software MuseScore and spent several hours playing with it and reading the help guide and copying in And The Glory from Messiah for the Cantanti handbells at Christmas.  Did some ironing, and lots of stuff on the computer and also cooked up the old vegetables into a Korma, and cooked the beetroot.  Practised Rutland a lot on 5-6. Mike texted that they were going to Lara at 7 pm  - but I decided not to go and finished up the Cheshire cheese and cucumber from Rovers which some freshly cooked beetroot.
