Monday 29 August 2011

 

It is a year since I last updated the web site, which is far too long.

 

What has happened:

· Eddie has just been to stay for a couple of nights, We went sailing on Saturday and went to the Wings and Wheels show at Dunsfold Aerodrome yesterday. Great flying and great aerobatics. Unfortunately the Red Arrows could not make it due to the crash the previous weekend, and the Vulcan was unserviceable. However, that did not spoil our enjoyment.

· Eddie is off to China on Wednesday for a years teaching at a University in Bejing.

· I had Suzie and Ferdie to stay at the beginning of  August. Ferdie is over from The Cameroons, and is trying to find a football team in Oxford that will take him on. Suzie continues to have fun at work, and bears up well with all the pressure.

· Janie’s son-in-law Gareth Clutton died of Melanoma in May. He was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of the cancer just after Christmas, and there was little the doctors could do. However Fiona, Janie’s daughter, looked after Gareth at home until the end, with the help of Janie and other members of the their family, who did an incredible job.

· James and Caris got married at the end of April, about the same time as that other couple got married in Westminster Abbey, but that was just a warm to the real party! It was great to see all the cousins together; to see the football match; and it was a fantastic get together for the oldies!

 

On a more general note, business has at last picked up a little. I don’t feel I am going down the Swaney quite so quickly now, but it has been a pretty awful 18 months.

 

Andy has broken loose and has been living on his own in Ilkeston, between Nottingham and Derby. He is under the supervision of an organization called P3 who’s aim is to help Andy to get back into the mainstream of life. So far the move seems to have suited him well. He is busy with all sorts of activities playing sport, going to the gym., doing pilates and zumba, and even indulging in a little acting. Long may it continue, 

So much for global warming
