Woking – Rain
Been one of those months where the weather won, rain, rain and rain – hence a summary of our stay in Woking. Our home has been a large house on the outskirts of Horsell common, with a swimming pool, large garden and beautiful lounge, kitchen and dining area. Sat on the outskirts of a nature…

Brooklands and Theatre
Woking has not been a total story of rain. We managed a few trips out, two to the local theatre to see ‘Peter Pan Goes Wrong‘ and ‘Cluedo‘, both worth a watch – on Saturday 9th we made a day trip to Brooklands Museum. Brooklands Museum This is a museum for anyone interested in transport,…

Widmouth and Boscastle
A rainy day in Cornwall, so it was an easy day watching waves from the car at Widmouth bay. A quick drink at the Wellington Hotel in Boscastle – an interesting building – the first floor bears the high-tide mark of the flooding that hit Boscastle in 2004. It is impossible to imagine how water…

Castles and Friends
Saturday I had a relaxing breakfast and caught up with some work before my friends from Liskeard arrived. We’d agreed to meet and tour Pendennis Castle an English Heritage castle on the Falmout headland. A relaxing day wondering the old buildings, dodging the showers, and examining the castle’s role in our nation’s defense since Tudor…

New Location
Tuesday 6th found us once more packing a house, and preparing for our next house. The contrast between our Forest Row depolyment and Woking could not be more stark. Forest row was a 1930’s managerial house built on the side of a hill. It’s long corridor and stately style rooms fun and intriguing. Woking, the…

Return to Familiar Haunts
Been rather quite on the blog front for January – our adventures continue, but we were returning to familiar locations. For the first part of January we were in Dunbar, Annabel looking after her sister’s shop, and me, well I looked after the lovely labarador Lottie. Lottie and I had some great walks on the…

Cold strikes
I don’t deal with them very well, – waking today with all the signs of a cold. Annabel took Lottie for a walk, and we then agreed for an easy day in the house – we both have busy weeks ahead. Day spent catching up on work, and trying to fight of this bug.

Rounders
We have moved to Dunbar and Annabel’s sister’s house, where we are looking after Lottie the lab. Having shared a few drinks the night before, no one was in a real rush to move, however, while Annabel’s sister and family packed for their holiday, Annabel and I got on with a few bits of work,…
