Sunny Saturday...

After a lapse of a ‘few’ years, one has rejoined this club...doesn’t the pic look evil!!  ( passport one).  

It’s just tooooo hot to get started, and there’s a football match on today, which, I’m not getting all gung ho about...always expect the worst since 1996😥. But, I will get the kit out and start putting it in order, one will need hooks, weights and floats at the least...

ummm Half Yearly Update!!

Well,

Here we are nearly at Summer Solstice and I've completed TWO posts this year; BAD to quote Donald T!

So, what occurred then?  Ive started investigating the family - hoping to create a timeline of Wood's, Pennocks, Youngs and Jones, with possibly a small dash of Bull added in.

Found Nan...:)Eliza May Jones

What else...been on 'holiday!  The Cam/Mal Arson 🔥🔥 Kingsmead Experience..good old Facebook...see it here

Went to Scotland...walked up Cairngorm (can't say climbed!!).  Great few days to myself camping in a forest

Ps...Retirement is grand...

Catching up...I retired from teaching... Found out I had Very High Blood Pressure!!

I retired from teaching...

Been building up to this for a while.  Lots of reasons, but at 60 that's enough.  Patience running thin, hearing paying for the years of headphones and, the only way  I can describe it, picking up on the high screeching tones!!

Knowing I'm not in the same calibre as the younger generation there...time to move on.  

I have been asked twice in the last 10 days or so 'am I missing it?'...no, not a jot.  What I will miss over the longer term is watching a group of children grow up - that's been a pleasure.

Highlights? Dell Farm...making friends, maybe not close friends, but more than I had before it started!  

Found out I had Very High Blood Pressure!!

There I was, thinking that I was getting fit...been working on #gettingfitordie and #countdowntoColl for a while, and took part in this years St Albans Walking Half Marathon , along with others from school...did alright as it happens!  

Anyway, persuaded to take part in a 'Well Person @ Work' check...nice young lady said me whats your doctors phone number..and promptly phoned and made me an appointment!!

Well, now on statins and blood pressure tablets...oh well!
