Hi Sarah, oh yes it's always lovely to go away but there's no place like home and nothing like your own bed. I was so happy to get back into my own bed for sure even though auntie Pearl's spare bed was comfy I still love my own bed and of course being back in my own surroundings. Yes baking pastry is ideal for us I love it even though eating it is the best bit haha. Auntie Pearl always weighs out the ingredients but Gladys amazes me as she doesn't weigh out the ingredients at all she knows by guessing how much she has of each thing and she gets it perfect every time so can tell she's been baking for years and is an expert. Then again auntie Pearl has been baking years but she doesn't feel she could do that she has to weigh them first so Gladys must have some kind of gift she's amazing. Talking of Gladys I haven't visited her for ages but we text a lot so at least we keep in touch but hope to see her soon and make up for lost time that will be even better. Well yes Glen Campbell still sounds so lovely for sure and he's still such a lovely singer I just love his music. It's a shame you keep missing his interviews but let's hope you will be able to go to his concert that will be so cool. Oh how lovely of Mrs Villa inviting you over for the weekend while Chris is there too much needed for you have a lovely time. Yes she's a true friend for sure. Well I hope you had a lovely time with Kate. Oh dear such a shame you haven't seen Karen for a while but hope you will soon and make up for lost time. Oh I'm so happy you have folk club back making up for lost time after the summer break in the same way I am doing with the dancing. We miss our activities when they not there for sure so we very happy to have them back again. Summer is the worst time for that isn't it? I enjoyed Janet's blind club as always we had cake with a cuppa but even though a shame not chocolate it was still yummy. We did the usual word games and quiz. I'm now making up for that lack of medicine as has that yummy aero mousse after those yummy sausage beans and cheese melts for tea and a caramel bar later. Yes I'm very happy to have home and away back too we have missed it for sure and so has auntie Pearl she loves it too. I'm now catching up in the interval. Well I look forward to hearing about your lovely day. Keep smiling. Love and big hugs Clare xxxx
