2020 held so much promise and it seems to have gone hill rather rapidly!! I was looking forward to my big birthday but soon after we were all caught up in the Covid-19 lockdown and thats where I have been ever since.
It has changed the way we all do everyday things, including shopping, and general living 2 metres apart. It has also impacted all our social lives.

I have no idea where the time goes to, its now June and the last post was in March!! Life has well and truly got in the way !!
To start with we have had a couple of very nice cruises, one to the Fjords with Cruise and Maritime. We traveled with our friends Rick and Dina. It was a bargain priced cruise, buy one get one free. We chose the cheapest inside cabin and thought we would take pot luck.

Hello!! Here we are nearly into April and my last post was at the start of February!!! I can only apologise, life has well and truly got in the way.
Lots has been happening, I have been busy with courses at work and I am now a fully fledged Health and Safety Officer. I am sure it will come in useful, but its not one of those jobs that really floats my boat, still another string to my bow.

Well New Year has been and gone, Carl is back in Hong Kong and life is back to 'normal' in fact it seems like ages until we have another holiday, which is depressing. I suppose the dark days of winter have that effect on people. We are still doing our fair share of hospital visits for just about all of us, but I hope that they sort Laura out first, it has been uncomfortable for her for a Lyzzydeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16696932806108871836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685099.post-33159374250874253502016-01-11T23:32:00.001+00:002016-01-11T23:32:58.422+00:00Happy New Year ! Can't believe its so long ago!
Well where did that Christmas break go?? It was so good to have Carl back for the holidays, once he was here it was like he had never been away! Sadly the time flew by and before we knew it he was back off to Hong Kong and the holidays were over.
We had a good Christmas, met up with loads of friends and family and had some chill time off of work. As always we ended up with far me food Lyzzydeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16696932806108871836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685099.post-82252018663923583322015-12-26T21:40:00.000+00:002015-12-26T21:40:47.202+00:00My Poor Abandoned Blog!!
Happy Christmas!!!
The trouble with Christmas is that its a long time coming and every year we all fall for the hype. I was concerned that we would not have 'enough stuff' for guests over the festivities, in the end we have plenty and some!!
We have had a good Christmas season, it kicked off for me with a surprise visit to a mini Christmas market in WGC, followed by a beauty Lyzzydeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16696932806108871836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685099.post-68788900884658967502015-12-06T23:13:00.000+00:002015-12-06T23:13:23.919+00:00A life time ago!
I am sorry to say that our holiday now feels like a lifetime ago. We have been back for a little over a month and the whole experience is like a dream. We have had our usual mix of issues over the past weeks, with both Laura and Dad being unwell. Both are now on the mend.
I can hardly believe that Mum passed away two years ago tomorrow, where has that time gone.

Remember Me Angels
This last week I have finally received my Business Logo. I am very pleased with it! I wanted something that reflected the sensitive nature of my business. My customers all seem to find that having a memorial is comforting so I feel that this logo hits the spot. I am really grateful to all my friends who have helped to spread the word and get my name out there.

Taiwan was quite an experience. The American chain 7-11 is very popular out there, so we felt quite safe going in there for drinks and snacks. What I was not prepared for was the awful smell!!
In Taiwan they love boiled eggs, cooked in a really pungent 'brown water'. So every 7-11 has vats of brown bubbling water containing stinking boiled eggs!!
The eggs are treated as an on the go Lyzzydeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16696932806108871836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685099.post-9639198085045346962015-11-12T22:16:00.000+00:002015-11-12T22:16:51.337+00:00The next steps!!
We stayed for three nights in Hong Kong before flying out to Taiwan. I was looking forward to this part of our trip, we took a taxi to the airport with Carl for our early morning flight with China Airlines. I was really impressed with the airline, the journey was only a short hop on a par with an Easy Jet trip in Europe. The huge difference was that it was a fully serviced flight with tiny Lyzzydeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16696932806108871836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685099.post-29607695061026816022015-11-08T22:07:00.000+00:002015-11-08T22:07:54.890+00:00We're Home!!!!
Well its been a while!! We are back from our exciting adventure into Asia. We have visited Hong Kong and Carl, we have visited Taiwan with Carl and we have taken a trip into China proper. We have had an action packed few weeks!
I wasn't looking forward to the journey, 12 hours on the plane with a time difference of 7 hours was a bit of a scary though, as it turned out it wasn't too bad.

Well its that time of year again, conference time, I love conference!! This is what my life has come to, loving conference!! The bonus is that I get to see lots of great places. This time we returned to Brighton. I stayed in The Waterfront Hotel, which was called the Thistle hotel last year!

Well its been a bit of a shock we have had a week of quite nice weather!! lovely autumn days, bit chilly in the mornings and evenings but beautiful during the day!
Today we went for a walk in Ayot, I love the conker trees. I don't really have any children that need to collect conkers anymore, but there is something about the beautiful colour and smoothness of the conkers that makes me smile.

September has just about left the room, its been a month of lots of interesting happenings. I tried out my new camera on the moon in preparation for the lunar eclipse and blood moon.
I was so pleased with my practice shots which I took the night before the big event.
I was encouraged by my shots and set my alarm to get up the following morning at 2.45am.

This year is flying by, I have no idea where it is going! I like to be busy but its starting to run away with me! A big part of the business is trying to sort out our trip to Hong Kong, which has been both a nice thing to do and a bit of a chore. I like to research where we are going but that seems to lead you into all sorts of dead ends and decisions to be made!

Well after what seems like ages away I resumed my pottery classes! I was excited about going back because our pots had been finished over the summer and we would finally get the chance to see how they had turned out. I think on balance I am happy with the results but realise that going forward I will concentrate on preparing ideas to take with me.

Last night after a lovely day out in London (more about that later) I came home to a suspicious looking puddle of water, we don't really have any luck with watery problems, so I expected the worse and I wasn't disappointed!! The puddle was near to our fish tank :( I am still not sure exactly where abouts on the fish tank it was coming from, but it was clear that's where the problem was.

1st of September - it is practically winter!! The nights are drawing in there is that autumn smell of dampness in the air and it reminds me once again of being pregnant ! I have no intention of repeating that feat (immaculate conception would be required) but that smell takes me right back. Three children and always pregnant in the autumn.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend away in sunny Scarborough. We were extremely lucky with the weather, while in the South they battled with heavy rain we were basking in late summer sunshine.
We booked three nights away at a Hotel called the Rivelyn. It was OK, apart from the usual problem of a very hard bed!! I have become used to our lovely soft mattress, a hard bed Lyzzydeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16696932806108871836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685099.post-88800092669068875602015-08-16T23:49:00.000+01:002015-08-16T23:50:56.453+01:00Oh the Pain :(
This has not been a particularly good week one way and another. On the plus side I have won a bet with Beth, I was the first member of the family to avail myself of the new Queen Elizabeth 2 hospital services. I felt sure that it would be Beth, she is usually the one. She has had no need to use the walk in bit, although she has had physio there for a few weeks.

This week has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for us. Times they are a changing! Carl has started his new venture, a difficult time for all of us!
