How Ruth found Glyn again!

This is Ruth, trying to get a picture of her by herself is a nightmare!!!

I first met Ruth in either late 1990 or early in 1991 when she was working with my then wife Margaret at Airsprung Beds. We met socially with her and her then husband Scott a couple of times at the Anchor and Hope and got on very well. Shortly after Margaret got the sack from there but we kept in contact with Ruth. Well time went on and Ruth left Airsprung and started driving Taxi's. At this time Ruth had a small child Jennie and her marriage was very shaky, as was mine. We found we could talk very easily and got on very well and became very good friends to each other.
Well as time went on I split up with Margaret  and moved to Chichester at weekends and lodged with Ruth, Scott and Jennie during the week, when I was working as a driver for Airsprung and I was away several nights a week.
It was whilst I was staying with Ruth that her Marriage broke up and I moved out and lodged with Phil (my brother) for a while.
Well from there we kept in touch when we saw each other and still got on great.
When Sue and I took the shop in 2000 we sort of lost touch and when I started on facebook a few years ago now I did try to search for her but the stupid girl had got married again and changed her name haha!!
So imagine my surprise when a couple of weeks ago I got a friend invitation from a Ruth Pepler yay! She had apparently driven past the old homestead in Frome Rd and thought "I wonder what happened to Glyn" did a search on Facebook and the rest is history so they say.
We are very much in contact again now and looking forward to the 4 of us getting together at some point in the near future.

Catching up 1

Have been very busy over the past few weeks with the 2012 directory for LCC. Then getting the new news sheet off the ground, first issue out 29th January, now the next one due to be out this coming weekend, up to my eyeballs in that at the moment but can do no more until I get news from GAAF!

Lets go back to the end of January then, Mike and Jane went back on Monday the 23rd to get ready to move as they had heard they now have a 2 bed flat, still in the same complex but number 30 instead of 41 Douglas Yates Court, even the postcode is the same! Well they moved on the 11/12th February, they have the phone ok but as yet are still waiting on BT for the broadband, no surprise there then!!

On the 26th January I gave up smoking, up to now I have gone nearly 4 weeks and my body seems to be rebelling as I have constantly had the runs for all that time, the Dr says it is due to the changes in my metabolism and will settle down eventually. I am giving it until next week and if still the same I am actually going to go to the doctors!!!

Weather wise it has been a right wierd winter, we did get a cold snap for about 3 days and then it warmed up again with the flowers and even the birds even more convinced that spring has arrived.... We have just under half a tank of heating fuel left this year. By this time last year I had had to put a further 500 ltrs in to see us through to the end of the winter. As I say right wierd! There is still time for it to get colder but they are forecasting temperatures of 16 to 18 degrees tomorrow and Friday.
