We are off to Derbyshire today to visit my wife’s granny, who will be 97 tomorrow. So we are up and out of the house by 7.45am, leaving my daughter to look after the house.
We drive to Hevingham where we are relinquishing control and being driven by my wife’s youngest son and his fiancee. My wife’s eldest son, his fiancee and our granddaughter are also travelling there today. We have a good journey, only stopping for a toilet break and a McDonald’s. My wife’s granny was pleased to see us all, especially her great-great-granddaughter whom she was meeting for the first time.
My tremor is behaving thanks to a little self-medication (cannabis) in the car during the journey.
We spend a couple of hours this afternoon in Matlock, where we get ride in a cable car to The Heights of Abraham. We do an incredible (to me) amount of walking up (and down) some very steep paths and steps, which tires me out completely!
We check into our hotel in Buxton, have baths and showers and then visit a local pub for dinner and drinks.
No mention of walking the dog. You didn’t forget about her, I hope.
Hi David
My father-in-law looked after the dog while we were away, so she has had lots of walks (he is a member of the Long Distance Walkers Association!).
Cheers,
Ian
Please have your father-in-law call me the next time he comes to California. I have a dog who’d like to show him the sights.
Cheers,
David
