  • Week 22 –July 27th 2020 – Week 19 of lockdown

    I decided this week, especially as Claire had not been used to working from home, that we would take a break to the Cotswolds.

    We would stay at The Wood Norton Hotel. Just hope the weather is still good in August.

    My retirement wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for my lovely wife Claire.

    Here relaxing on the patio, of course with the IPhone. 🙂

  • Week 17 –June 22nd 2020 – Week 14 of lockdown

    With the weather being so good and wanting to stay fit and healthy, we went off to Knole Park.

    This has become our place to escape the virus and just relax.

    The great thing is, there are untold places you can enter the park from and it’s all free unless you want to go into the house, which has often been off limits because of the virus.

    Later in the year, Claire was to take one of the best amateur photographs I’ve ever seen!

    So watch this space 🙂

  • Week 16 –June 15th 2020 – Week 13 of lockdown

    Well though I know I’m good at something, like cutting down or smashing stuff up, now and again I do need help.

    Thankfully my wife steps in often too help, great team work to get rid of this annoying willow over our drive.

  • Week 15 –June 8th 2020 – Week 12 of lockdown

    Now as I have said earlier, I feel for any new plant that is purchased, as I know they will die at the hands of my lovely wife Claire.

    But COVID19 seems to have had an impact on her, as these plants and all other plants that have been put out, have lived and died naturally, well done Claire!! xx

    People that know me, know cricket is a big part of my life, when I was 10, myself and a group of friends, from April right through to October, virtually every weekend day and school holidays, we would go off to this piece of land and play cricket. We would take food and drink and just play.

    I even had a trial for Kent, but only public school children were taken on.

    I played adult cricket from 13 and have met some lovely people over the years, the Chelsfield Exiles Saturday was a blast, on the field and off, thankfully Claire understood what cricket meant to me and the Saturday team welcomed her.

    I have been captain and chairman of the club.

    In my later life,  I have played league cricket for New Ash Green and even won a medal for winning a league, I just wished the players would believe in themselves in the second team, there are some quality players that would easily walk into other teams!!.

    Obviously COVID19 had stopped cricket, but as you see from the ECB roadmap, they wanted people playing, with my depression lifted, I wanted to play again, so made myself available again for New Ash Green.

  • Week 14 –June 1st 2020 – Week 11 of lockdown

    We’re not the greatest gardeners in the world, until this year I pity any new plant coming to our home, as It was like signing them to an early death sentence!

    This year though, the lockdown has had amazing effect on Claire and looking after the plants in the garden, nothing has died!!!

    This is the left hand side of the garden, which had been completely overhauled by MJ Limited.

  • Week 12 – May 18th 2020 – Week 9 of lockdown

    22nd May, was a HUGE DAY, for me and Claire, we received a letter to confirm that I had been able to pay our mortgage off, the house we purchased back in August 1993 was ours, YIPPEE, huge pressure taken of us both!!

  • Week 10 – May 4th 2020 – Week 7 of lockdown

    This was a tough week for me, had I made the right decision regarding Nikki?

    I was moving my three private pensions into one.

    I couldn’t have done anymore background checks on Nikki or his company then I had.

    Trust is a MAJOR thing for me, you so have to earn it, even more so when you’re talking about MONEY and mine and Claire FUTURE!!
