A bit more – ME – time

As some of my community commitments now allow us to have a bit more – me time – I am away a lot more, making the most of what mobility will allow.
Just returned from Madeira, went to the same place last year – excellent all round, weather could have been better. I met a delightful 91 year old gentleman and his 90 year old wife.
He started the day at 8am with several glasses of ‘bubbly’ with his breakfast, and didn’t stop all day….never fell over and was totally looked after.
Our friends Andrew and Sue O stayed in the hotel next door and joined us for a celebration 65th birthday at the Riu Palace.
Andrew and I were ‘Cubs’ in Coates in the 1950’s, ‘Scouts’ in the 60’s. Both went to sea, he in the RN – me in the MN. We both married ‘Nurses’ and have remained friends for over 55 years – many happy memories.
