This year the reunion was at a hotel in Birdlip – the highest point of the Cotswolds, I believe. I only went for part of it as it was quite close – only about 1½ to 2 hours drive away – depending on how many tractors and horse boxes one gets behind. Most people went…

Go on holiday to Shropshire
Another walking holiday; same company (hf holidays) as usual but different location. I decided to go by train as that only involved one change and was probably about the same cost as petrol for the journey and the road route seemed quite complicated when I looked it up. Perhaps I should invest in a sat…
Meet up with university friends
This year we met up in Kings Lynn. I left on the Thursday and went to stay with one friend at her new house in Hitchin. Very nice it is too, even if there are rather a lot of stairs! We had an excellent meal out in the town in the evening. Friday morning we…
ANOTHER holiday…..
This was the holiday that was (partly) paid for by the cancellation of the singing holiday. I had chosen three nights, so 2 days of walking, at Lulwoth Cove. This was partly because it is my closest hf house – only 1½ hours drive away, so ideal for a short break – and I was…
Take a holiday in the Cotswolds
Time for yet another holiday with hf holidays, but in the Cotswolds this time. The hotel is based at Bourton-on-the-Water, which is quite an easy drive for me. I even broke it up by stopping for lunch with my niece and family, so I did have a bit of time to play with my great-niece…
Have a holiday based on Dartmoor
A walking holiday with hf holidays – 3 nights this time. This is the one to replace the singing holiday and lasted from Wednesday to Saturday. So on Wednesday I drove to the house near Haytor on Dartmoor. I keep forgetting that my car is not keen on hills, but it does make it –…
Get Your Holiday Cancelled
Two weeks before I was due to go, I had a letter from HF Holidays saying that my “Anyone Can Sing” holiday was cancelled, as not enough people believed it! Well, they actually said that some people had cancelled and so only 4 people were booked and that number was not viable for the holiday. That…
Have a family Christmas
I went to Cambridge, to my brother’s, for Christmas. I was invited as they all apparently behave better if I am there and don’t argue so much! I don’t think they did argue – well not early in the morning as I was usually one of the first up, but they could have done after…
Go to a reunion
Forty years since we graduated, so our “gang” met up for an even more special reunion. We have been meeting up once a year for several years now, but this time we decided to go to Bath. The hotel was booked several months ago as it was not sensible to hope for last minute deals,…
Holiday in France
Last year, my bother asked if I would like to go on holiday with his family in France. Having decided that 2 weeks was too long, I had to work out if I could get there or get back without too much difficulty. This turned out to be easier (for me) than I thought it…
