Passed

Well that is my driving assessment over for this year & unfortunately I passed again & that means I have to work for yet another year.

Sue has not had a good couple of days as she woke yesterday with some pain in her back. Went to the docs this morning and he gave her a week off work.
The things some people will do to get out of digging the allotment lol.

I am giving it a rest today but will be back up there before I go to work tomorrow as weather set fine (Mike).

Hope this finds everyone else well

God Bless

Update on Syd From Sharon

Update on poor Syd.

He is still in lots and lots of pain and not a happy man right now, looks like they are going to operate on him either Tuesday (22/04) or if the right part has not come in by then it will be the Tuesday after that and the doctors are saying he should make a full recovery in time.

Syd and Joyce are hopefully moving closer to us so that we can look after them both, if not for good then just until Syd is fully recovered.

Winter Returns

Sue & I have been planning all week what we were going to do on the allotment on our day off today.

We went shopping and froze! Then changed our minds and decided there were more important things to do at home.

The allotment can wait ha ha.

Any Ideas?

Stella is trying to look for her, Mark & Lindy's natural father, without much success!

He was last hear of in Canada.

Has anyone any ideas as we seem to keep coming to dead ends?

All we have is name, date & place of birth.

We also know that he became a naturalised Canadian in 1974/5

Any ideas to me or Stella please.

News from Mike

It is Lee`s birthday on 21st of April.

Sue`s mum Bella is not very well at the moment after falling and breaking her hip seems to taking it out of her but she is 85 so a mention in your prayers would be nice.

I have a hospital appointment to try and sort my angina which is troubling me a lot at the moment.

As Mike Requests These things Are in our Prayers and keep us informed of progress please Mike

Update on Tony

Tony is now fit and well after his recent illness.

For Prayer

Lets pray for an early recovery.

Our Allotment

hello to all, this is just an update on the allotment. I would like to keep both and put some fruit bushes on the one. Must talk to Glyn about this and see what he thinks, have not seen much of him since i thought of the idea.
On the Tony saga, seems that he is not too ill after all. The doctor thought he had a slight case of bronchitis. Not so sure myself but we will see.
Still having some pain due to my arthritis, I am able to cope so-so at the moment.
This time it is posted by Sue

Worrying times

What with Lindy last week and now Sue's brother Tony appears to be quite ill. It apparently started last Friday with sickness and diarrhoea. He has not been able to keep anything down and has had virtually nothing to eat or, more worryingly, drink since then!
After much nagging from Sue he has the doctor coming out to see him today.

For updates watch this space!

Thankfully all the rest of the family seem to be in good health.

Update on digging.
Andy, a neighbour, came over last night to tell us that he is giving up his allotment! Would we like to take over his as it has a greenhouse, he also had a load of manure delivered last year that is waiting to be used.
Needless to say the answer is an unreserved YES. It is next to the one we have now so will not take much to move our stuff over.

Only 2 more day work then 5 off YIPPEE!!!!

Gods blessing on you all
Glyn

Digging

Well after waking up to a carpet of snow this morning lets hope that is the end of winter, I am not holding my breath on that one though.

I have 3 days work then I am off for 5 days so I will hopefully be able to get up on the allotment and get it up together to get some planting done. We are praying for it to be at least dry until then?

We understand from Stella that Lindy is on the mend but we have not heard from her so can only guess that she is?

Lets hope for a better week than last.

God Bless all.

Our Week

Well it is the end of a very hard week for us both and we are both physically and mentally exhausted.

Sue's Feet and knees are killing her, my hip is not faring (Yes that is Faring! without the T) much better.

Lindy has lost the baby she & Nick so desperately want and we are feeling so much for them!

So all in all it has been a shit week!
