Christmas 2001

In Plymouth. Nat is twelve and a half.

2008

The year up to November felt like it was dominated by WORK – with the offshore project and Nationwide. Spending a variable two days per week in Croydon played havoc with everything.  Impossible to plan social life / take enough exercise / eat properly /  attend professional talks, etc etc. And the naus of having to re-claim travelling expenses was one of the factors in driving me into a permanent role.

The end of my 50^th was a good birthday celebration, to end my birthday blog.

 Nat's relationship with Fern came to an end after eighteen months, just as he went away on skiing holiday with George – very opportune timing as he had a whale of a time and got over the sadness in double quick time.  We were sad it ended…

 While he was away, he "forgot" Mother's Day – apart from a text at 17:30. Not impressed.

Nat left for South America just before Phil's birthday. We kept in touch via emails and skype. When he returned, the time just seemed to go and then he was off to Bath.  Because of text, skype, email, he hardly seemed to be away. I'm sure Phil missed him much more than me. But then he doesn't use text or email….

We had a good holiday when Nat was back (Liverpool and Yorkshire). Nat started a new romance with Laurie, who is very attractive.

I was delighted when Nat returned to the ERRFC "fold" for rugby training, but in December, he decided to give up for the rest of the season at least – his knee had complained, then his shoulder after his only match in Exeter, and Freshers badly organised.

Mum was taken into hospital with suspected stroke in November – stressful. I think that's why I caught the heavy cold that then lasted five or six weeks.

We invited all of the in-laws for a "family Christmas" - well, the sister-in-law actually invited herself but what the hell. Eventually the other in-laws did decide to come. And eventually on the day, they arrived. At 4 o'clock for 2 o'clock. Oh well, never again, unless attitudes change.

The Ship Do (Bristol - DP reunion)

Crikey, a memento from more than 20 years ago with an invitation to a reunion. Can't go :-(

Twickenham 5/4/2003

When we bumped into Martin, ex Sun Life, and also Ben Moreland, LV, in the Prince Blucher.

Letter from James

Really sweet. Around November 1997.

Nathan and Kate 8th birthday party

Goodness knows why I'm wearing leggings in the front room photo???? other than to cover up my great white legs.....

Fainting on blood donation 1992

When I was at DML. I remember giving blood and then feeling light headed. Apparently I was pretty heavy to shift!!

Lockerbie 21/12/1988

I remember watching the news and feeling the shock. I was on my own in Knutsford. I think Him Indoors may have been up there with me for the week-end, probably house hunting. I guess I knew I was pregnant by then, though only just.

Twenty years on.

Keith Floyd RIP

A too short and seemingly well enjoyed life.

And a nice way to go.

The receipt is very faded. It was a night out with Ray and Jane, probably to celebrate Him Indoors' birthday, judging by the 30/6 date. Not sure which year..... sometime between 1980 - 1984. I'd guess 1984 when 30/6 was a Saturday.

1983

David Bowie at Milton Keynes Bowl, part of The Serious Moonlight Tour. Bill Bailey mentioned it on his Desert Island Discs on 8/6/08. He was there too. He remembered more about than I do. 1st, 2nd or 3rd July 1983. Fan site.

The set list for 1st July.

We travelled from Bristol with Debbie and Steve.

Thriller - 1982 and 2007 styles

I remember seeing this when it was pemier-ed on British TV. In 1982 it seems. I was 25. The year of "cheap car insurance" though I wasn't driving regularly at the time.

1975 / 1976

Mum turned these out when she was looking for something else (in 2008)

1974

The Tour de France came to Britain for the first time - and to Plymouth. I worked on the day in the refreshments tent for the journalists. I met Ian Wooldridge, and a very nice Canadian journalist who gave me a maple leaf tie pin.

Concert going 1973

Ten Years After!

1968

5th June 1968 - I was 11. I remember I was in the car with Mum and Debbie and we'd stopped on the way home from swimming at Mount Wise. Daddy came back to the car and said that Robert Kennedy had been shot.

(1970 seems to be oldest date the blog will go back to)

1964

Good Morning, Tokyo. Mary Rand, Ann Packer, Lyn Davies.

1962

Can I remember this or do I know it from TV repeats?

1958

Conception

Mum cut this out to show me where I was conceived, a few months after the photo was taken!
