Holiday, trips and events

  • Week 143 – December 10th – Dover – Part 1

    We visited Claire’s dad today and took a trip to Dover cliff tops.

    It was a clear day and could see so much of France as you can see from the pictures.

  • Week 142 – December 3rd – Ashes to Glass

    Today we took a trip to the dark side and went to Essex.

    To a shop called Ashes to Glass. This was so Claire, who took a small part of her mum’s ashes, to be made into a pendant to wear, so that she will have her always close to her.

    The shop was in a small village and was very well laid out.

  • Week 141 – November 23rd – Martin Ives

    Today I went to see Martin Ives. Thankfully I was able to park in the car park where he works as the weather was dreadful (heavy rain).

    Had a good conversation regarding several things and he looked well.

  • Week 140 – November 19th – Headcorn Aerodrome

    As we were getting bored indoors, we took a drive down to Headcorn Aerodrome.

    A couple of pictures from the trip, it was actually quite a misty day, but still busy at this small aerodrome.

  • Week 139 – November 12th – Battersea Park part 1

    As the weather was still being unusually warm for this time of year, we went to Battersea Park and took a walk along the Thames.

    Enjoy the pictures and video (I’m very proud of this video), hope you enjoy too.

  • Week 139 – November 11th – Greenwich

    Today we went up to Greenwich Park and the Thames. Whilst walking near the Queen house, there were many trailers and equipment and saw lots of extras dressed up for some filming shoot.

    I’ve done some searching, but cannot find out what was being filmed there, if anyone does, please leave a comment.

  • Week 137 – October 26th – The Black Robin

    Today, myself, Claire and her dad went to the “The Black Robin” pub and had a lunch, plus also to see if it was the right place for the wake after the cremation.

    The lunch was good and the service too, on looking at the room where the function could be held, it was decided this would be the location for the event.

    I can’t remember the last time I had been in a pub, it was before the pandemic had happened.

  • Week 136 – October 19th – Ightham Mote House – Part 6
