Happiness is....

Rolling hills

I just love walking out with the dog - Phil and I took her for a walk out at North Newington, a village barely a mile from the house, but with the most beautiful scenery. We only walked for about a mile, but it was so quiet and refreshing. The mo...

Chilling out and doing nowt

nobody@vox.com(Claret) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:49:45 +0000

That was the plan for our four day trip to the Algarve, and I'm pleased to say that we did precisely that... well Phil and I did - Rosie spent all her time in the pool and playing water polo. The flights both ends were uneventful, with a very smo...

Time

nobody@vox.com(Claret) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:03:20 +0100
