Feels like I have been neglecting the Blogg recently so here's a brief recount of the comings and goings of the Bessinghamites since the last post.
1st up - mother. Poor old girl (I feel like I have to say that a lot) had another spell in the N&N with a list of ailments. Happily back in Shezza now though she needs careful management at the moment. Fortunately the home has now got some really good staff and seem to be more concerned with care rather than profit these days.
Jenny has just got back from Barcelona (up the coast a bit) playing netball for one of the local rival High Schools. She is tanned and tired and had a great time. Jen has been full on with exams and revision recently so it was a very useful break.
Rosie is on her way to London today to see Matilda with her Nan. She has been really good lately, having to fit in around the rest of us. This half-term holiday was hijacked by the Jubilee - so there has been loads of things going on locally.
DG helped organise Bessingham's jubilee picnic on Monday - an excellent day getting to know folk in the village. She has now started report writing - spent all day Thursday and Friday tapping away - right up till about 2am the other night (just in time to pick Jenny up from Wells/Spain)
I've been fighting a bad back - Dr says my running around days are over - I'll try and prove him wrong but it means no cricket this year. Got to get out on the bike soon in readiness for July 26th and 120 miles. Trouble is the bloomin weather is still not playing fair. Today it is blowing a gale and rainy and I was hoping to get a few hours in.
We have had a great Crab and Lobster festival in Cromer/Sheringham, a vintage car rally with about 250 cars, a wonderful day at the test match in Nottingham (was that summer?), jubilee parties in East Beckham and here and a lovely day on the Broads with Graham, Debbie and Jess.
Hopefully there will be some pictures uploaded here soon when I can get Picassa to work, otherwise go and look at my Flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/16311022@N07/
