Sorry your ride was so long and stuffy.. and I wish you had had a longer amount of sleep.. I too hope your Dad gets well soon..Rosalind make sure you get plenty of rest tonight and take things easy for a while.. This emotional stress can really bring a person down and I would hate to see you get sick. Do take care of yourself...and try to rest a bit.
Oh my sorry bout the truck driver... Did he make it?Thats really scarey.. hope he is alright!Well congrats on the new trailblazer! How was the trip?
Karen, yes my Dad does like gardening and he has only had the allotment since last year but in the home that I was brought up in,he had a terraced garden, he gave it loads of TLC. No digging needed now. I hope that he doesn't need to dig as it'dbe too much for him. I will take care of myself, that is nice of you to be so concerned about me, Thanks x

I do hope you all feel better soon and am glad you are minding the shop..( taking care of yourself) Karen what a lucky daughter you are with your Mum but since I was brought up in London and the space for type of gardening didn't exist then so Mum and Dad couldn't grow their own fruit, veg or tend their own animals for food. Pity though but hindsight doesn't really work, I've got great memories although.I am fine now and have spent a lot of yesterday also today just having lazy, sleepy days. I'll be ok by Sunday with another lie-in.Plus following the final day of the Tour de France and the riders with their sexy bums.I had to shop but then it's a short walk. Otherwise I'd have no meals for the weekend. LOL LOL

Sorry the trip is so far for you to make.. very tiring..I am sure.. Rosalind.. do you mind me asking how old you are?..

You won't starve besides.. who can eat with a view like you will have this weekend! LOL..Glad you feel better enjoy the "TOUR DE BUMS" and have sizzling weekend!!!!
