Not another holiday?

Oh yes there is!

There is an earlier one to mention first though...another mobility scooter adventure infact, with my Mum this time. We took her to Norfolk for two weeks at the beginning of May...those two perfect weeks of sunshine. First stop was Docking, to a lovely cottage in a village near Brancaster beach in North Norfolk then on to Brundell in a fantastic chalet plonk on the very edge of the River Yare, just perfect for Mum to sit and watch all the activity on the river. We had our own tame mallards who came to be fed every day also a little dinghy for my husband to play with.

As before when holidaying with scooters we had to plan our trips very carefully but managed some really good outings. Usually gardens, garden centres and farm parks were a safe bet as most are scooter friendly. Have some lovely photos but Blogger just will not let me upload them...again!

Next week we are off to Euro Disney with youngest daughter and family then on to Centre Parcs near Paris. So excited to have a 10 days with grandchildren Ellie(4) and Josh(2). They did the same trip last year and Ellie can't wait to see everything again...do hope I'll be able to show pics of them.

K3 and WWKIP

When I finished work two of my colleagues and best friends Sue and Marylyn (aka Mazzam Again) and I decided to form a knitting group. So far there are only we three founder members, our official name for high days and holidays is K3tog but between ourselves it's just K3. Our intention, should we ever expand our membership, is to increase the number accordingly...but if there were six more members we may have to re-think our name!


We try to arrange exciting Knitterly Jaunts and Adventures with at least one yarn shop and somewhere interesting for coffee and lunch. Mostly we meet up at Gloria Jeans coffee shop across the road from the library where Sue (right) and Marylyn (middle) still work...I join them there at least twice a week for their coffee or lunch breaks, being a pensioner with a free bus pass is very liberating!

Sue and I were the only members of K3 available last Saturday to celebrate KKWIP day and did so by working abit of sock in GJs but forgot to take a photo. Sue managed to snap me holding it on the way back to the library but didn't realise I was infront of a police car!


The next place to KIP was obviously the library...some funny looks here, not least from ex-colleagues! (blogger just won't let me upload my photo)


For the first time since I left 9 months ago I went into the staff area, and was even taken down into the bowels of the building to my old desk...what a depressing place to spend half of every working day! Nothing much had changed and I felt so relieved that I'd managed to escape when I did!
