Just thinking of you as I had to walk up the hill from the bottom because of the snow! Ailsa abandoned her car too ( she thought she was driving back to Leeds this afternoon). At least it got me out and home a bit earlier!

Hope you are both ok - probably asleep now I hope ready for your 3 flights tomorrow. we will all probably be here at tea time on Sunday but it may depend on the weather.

Take care all our love mum dad and Ailsax x x

Greatings world travellers from mum and dad at glorious todmorden first signs of spring today our Bill was showing me the fist signs of buds on the trees. Glad to hear you are enjoying yourselves in these expensive hotels {£7 bed rooms with sea views}and how about the weather, in "Tod" we are just begining to see some day light. Sorry about your 18 hour journey must have been horrendous I can feel my bones creaking at the thought of it.Hope you manage to fly back{I will be pleased to pay for it}we were out with Ted and Ali. on saturday went to Mulinos for dinner great food.Your car is in the garage Bill tells me not to disconect the battery he will run it out on the drive once a week and let the engine warm up You can guess I did not argue with him wanting to to take charge.Perhaps he has designs on it as his Fiesta is over 14 years old we will have to be on our guard Ha,Ha,Ha,
Going to Burnley Hospital tomorrow for usual check up I feel fine it will be "doddle"Mums taking me in her car suspect she wants to ensure that they will look after me "proper".Gemma having chosen her wedding dress is now sorting out the bridsmaids,Marks suit and the best man also.What shall I wear! We have been invited to Margarets70th surprise birthday party in Manchester.We will be taking Rene and she has invited to stay over at he place.Although there birthdays are on the 15 th and 16th of March the party is on the 1st of april would you believe
Ailsa has invited us to Leeds as she has nothing to wear for her Birthday and wants us to do a little shopping with her sounds expensive!!!!!
All the news for now have a great time love Mum & Dad xxxx
