Back in Blighty

For LL

Nice to be in the UK for a while, to meet up with old friends and 'chew the cud' a little, plus a few trips north, south and west. Lot cooler here than we have been enjoying LL. One thing I don't miss, since I established myself in the States, is the weather.

I heard retirement was on the horizon a while back. That is fourteen years later than it might have been. Doesn't leave that many years to work through your tick list does it. I've worked most of mine, but then I keep adding new things back.

That short video is the first time I've seen you move in.....two years. I'll leave you to figure that one out. 'We' are quite the chunky person these days aren't we. That's not a 'bitchy' comment, purely an observation. I think you are growing toward your partner in that respect - not good. All a bit late though - whatever happened to all that keep fit you did and the calorie counting? Too much booze and too much high calorie food I guess. I hate to think what your 'top' looks like now. One thing for sure, it doesn't compare with my lady.

What are you going to do with yourself? Write a book - you have plenty of material, and you provided me with some for one of mine some way back. You can't keep shopping and eating...or travelling. Hmmm....can't imagine what you will do to occupy your time. Watch football perhaps😀

Of course, I could have filled it many times over.Which is what I have been doing ever since 2005. We have left London and are heading north, slowly, over the next few days. Ash wants to see the Yorkshire Dales and a few other places, before we hit the south coast later in our visit.
