Week 5 in the UK.

Photos again were taken all very close to the house, no chance to go further afield.  Thankfully my FIL is back home, and although we are all not 100%, things seem to be going in the right direction.  One more week to go before we return home.

Week 4 in the UK.

Photos were hard to come by this week. My FIL has not been at all well and nursing was a priority, he is at the moment in hospital but should be home tomorrow. I picked up a nasty bug that laid me very low for 36 hours. Feeling much better now but still feel a bit like a well wrung out damp cloth!  (The bug returned)!

Week 3 still in the UK.

Not a particularly interesting selection, but all these have been seen in walking distance from the house.  We just do not have time to go further afield.  Hopefully, my ID is correct.
