Hi Ladies
Thank you Jean will keep an eye on the post and let you know when it arrives.
Italy was beautiful. We were in Venice for 2 days. Rather expensive but such an experience. Not sure what I expected, but it was all so different. No vehicles of any sort, just water transport and guys running around with wheeled trucks. And visitors with wheeled suitcases, ourselves included. We stayed just off St Marks Square. It was very lively, sometimes too many people, but beautiful early morning and at night too. Met some very friendly people, other visitors and local people and so many helped us when we arrived couldn't find our hotel but a kind German gentleman spent about an hour guiding us right to the door and wouldn't even have a drink !! Such a kind man.
We then went on a cruise to some Greek Islands. A day at sea, then Corfu, which was quite green and seemed nice. Next stop Santorini, we found this very hot and nothing much grows there except grapes and olives and cherry tomatoes. Next was Mykanos, very barren a granite rock island with volcanic sand beaches, We enjoyed a tasing of ouzo and greek snacks but don't think we'd want to stay there.
The last trip was at Katakolon and a coach ride to Olympia. Much greener and the Olympic site was very interesting and we saw where the Olympic flame was started. Then we went to a wine tasting and actually bought some olive oil.
Our last day was spent onboard the cruise ship again before getting back to Venice and our flight home.
The cruise was lovely. Very relaxing. Very good food. Expensive drinks !!! Amazing entertainment.... the shows and singers could easily be good enough to get onto a stage in The West End of London.
Jean we were in Tuscany about 7 weeks ago, staying near Pisa, visited Florence and Volterra as well as Livorno.
We were just so fed up with the weather and as hubby has just retired decided to get away..... but you had good weather last week and today I had trouble getting the washing dry with heavy rain and thunder storms here in the south east.

Linda we loved Venice, wish we could have stayed there but we were at Lake Garda, our favourite place the ferries are a great way to travel... we did a two place holiday to Tuscany too.... staying at Lake maggiore for a few days which was so beautiful and then onto a place I cant spell right on the sea front we visited Seinna , and up to the Dolomites breathtaking, it was a bit to hilly for me in Tuscany we were on a coach trip and coaches were not allowed in the towns and villages so we had to trek up steep inclines a lot,........ but we had the best holiday ever on a river cruise Rhine and Mossele wonderful....but alas for us going abroad is not on the cards now, still we have wonerful memeories... I could go on and on....
Sylvia, how are you ? bet a rest is in order now the family have gone home, lovely while it lasts but can be tiring , I find talking a lot tires me, so I wouldnt last long being with Mo who could talk for England and win bronze silver and gold......lol....how you doing my lickle whirlwind, and how is Roly hugs fo him....talking of hugs here are some for our lovely Caz ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( x ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi girls, I'm ok at the moment, still learning about it, the doctor popped in this morning and explained a bit about it, it's my blood but something about low platelets, it sounds complicated and I will learn more when I see oncologist on Wed. Why can't I have something simple, lol.

Caz xx

Hi Caz,

Pleased to hear that the doctor called this morning and explained a bit about whats what to you, you'll know a lot more when you see the oncologist on Wednesday. I will be thinking about you.

Brrr winter returned here today girls, back on went the cardigan and coat.
But then tomorrow is supposed to be a lot warmer, so lets hope we dont end up with more colds.

I hope everyone is o.k. Love and hugs Mo xxx

Hi girls, I've had a busy day again, nurse came early on for some blood samples, she took three, then this afternoon the district nurse came for some more, they both took three vials, hope I have some left, lol. At least I will know(or should) what is wrong.
I am so tired as I couldn't sleep again last night with jerky feet, it is so annoying, does anyone else get it, so I am off to bed early.
It's not cold here Mo but been drizzling all day, turning heavier now.
Computer is acting funny so I am going to close it down now.

Love Caz xx

Off to the cabin in the morning (Wednesday, my time!).

We're staying in a hotel in the nearest town, and will drive out to the cabin each day ....... it takes about an hour each way.


We're just up there for 2 full days ............. back home by late on Saturday


The weather is supposed to be good.




Take care everyone ........... especially Caz <3 <3 <3

Maynot be on too much can't be doing any time on computer as I have the labarynthitus back, whole world is moving and swaying and sleeping is awful waking every time I move from my right side. Will have to go back to Dr and try to see an ENT specialist.

Sylvia, I hope that I catch you before you depart for your Cabin, have a lovely time, and make sure you send your OH into the cabin before you. If he runs past you at speed, follow him.
Speak to you when you are back love.

Ah Linda, that flippin Labarynthitus is a real nuisance for you isn't it. It knocks you for six every time it rears it's ugly head.
I hope the doctor gives you more meds to sort you out pretty quickly.

Joyce thats a lovely verse you have written, thank you for sharing it with us. Your words say all that we are feeling.

Hi ya Jean my lickle lovely. I am getting withdrawal symptoms, I have not had any amusing comments coming my way lately. Talk about feeling deserted lol
Hows you and J doing. Have you decided where you are going for your break away before your Wales holiday.?

We have been rushed off our feet the last couple of days. As you know J+S are getting married at the end of the month.
Well S had ordered the two smallest bridesmaids dresses from two different shops, and guess what, they wont be here in time for the wedding.
The eldest two bridesmaids gowns, were ordered weeks ago, but are coming from China.
The six weeks delivery time is now up, and S phoned to find out where they had got to.
Guess what, they are held up in customs. Because of the Olympics, all goods coming into the country are being thoroughly by customs.
She was told on monday, that they should be arriving by today, and they are not here.
We have taken her to loads of different shops today, to see if she could get the two smaller bridesmaids dresses. to no avail.
I thought British Home stores still did wedding outfits, but they stopped two years ago.
So S is off up to Lakeside tonight, to see if she can find something for the two little ones.
B.H.S do do things on line, but she has got to the point where she is wary of ordering things in case they dont turn up on time.
Why oh why do brides to be, leave things till the last minute these days.
When my other children got married, everything was arranged months and months in advance.
But then they did have me their Mum nagging at them. lol And S does not have this advantage. If I tried to interfere she would only think I was poking my nose in where it was not wanted and I dont want this to happen. I dont want to be a mother in law from hell.

Well I must go now, will check in later to see if there is any news on our Caz. <3
