OH is off there next September - without me! At first he said he would not go and I persuaded him - mind you he could have put up more of a fight!!!

Our g.daughter you may recall got engaged last month and is getting married there next year.

I have informed g.son I am putting his Gramps in his charge. They are already planning what they will get up to!! They are very close.

I have told OH he has to keep a daily diary otherwise he will not recall half of it. He will enjoy it and be a good break for him.

Maggie, he and I can go somewhere when he is around. I know he is looking forward to it to seeing our g.daughter wed.

Ann - yes son will come and stay.

When I told Matron - she did not say 'oh no'. As I reminded OH - Matron visits regularly and if I need her, I just have to phone and she is here same day and that we have a very good GP and surgery.

We are very fortunate that way and I read this week an asthmatic has a GP who if she uses 2 inhalers in 4 months asks why.

Think I shall dig out my Harrods hat (as it is known) and wear it once again on her wedding day!!!!!!

True Ann - it will be daughter's second visit to the island, doubt she will remember living there - she was 13 mths when we went.

OH and I have been there twice since - the last visit to Northern Cyprus and it was lovely - unspoilt. We tourists do tend to spoil sometimes.

It is the only place we have revisited.
