Its been a while since I last blogged, since April I think what with Corona Virus and everything else I also have had technical issues with website but now we are getting back on track with it all!
so my blog will be uploaded for 2019 as my last blog was 2018 on here lol
Well what a time its been, it all seems so crazy and unreal and don’t know where the time has gone, just flown past .
Just before the lock down Dougie had a spell in hospital and was a god send that he was released just before that I have able to look after him, bringing back to being Dougie !
Happy to say my family and friends have all stayed safe and well, It was very hard for everyone not being able to see family and friends but staying safe has been vital for everyone
I have to say that I have been lucky to be in this village where we felt quite safe,I had lovely walks enjoyed the garden and cooked and cooked and cooked and Dougie and I enjoyed our time together…
I have enjoyed actually having a breather from work, the pressure of work and all that goes with it ….
and I am sure we all have had time to reflect…. our little world here became so lush the air the trees the birds was a joy to see it felt like nature was having a fresh breath of air …
we’ve had our fair of watching tv and have caught up in things we never would have watched thank god for Netflix . All I can say is Dougie has become you tube mad …. and reading like there is no tomorrow …
I feel I dont seem to have stopped .. As I said earlier where the time has gone my day is so full as I am sure everyone else’s is … I have calmed down on the cooking as I felt I was in kitchen 24/7 to begin with, cleaning (which I love hahah) and gardening and looking after his lordship and having a hour walk a day the days flew by… did I feel guilty not working ….. No …..
I so enjoyed my first meal out after lockdown that was so special…. being waited on was just fabulous ….
The first times seeing family and friends has also been very special indeed, When it was safe to do so …Lovely to see my family the first time i saw them was celebrating my Mother’s 90th Birthday a glorious May day .
my best mates came down from Manchester which was just wonderful, seeing them and while late we did our first trip to see Dougie’s family Nottinghamshire and then to Manchester for a few days which was great fun.
With visits from friends down to our village has also been fantastic seeing the Georges , Jackie Travers the golden girls Joan,Lynda and Donna from LA Jeff & Robert, a lovely spread out lunch with the gang at the GreyHound in Stockbridge ( My new favourite place )
News on Generation dance class well during this lock down I started doing a class on line one Sunday to see how it would go, I put it out there and the response was amazing , I didn’t charge as I felt we were all in the same boat .. but we have been doing classes now every Sunday live on facebook for all to join in. been crazy ! I have been very touched that Lucy Greaves quietly arranged and raised over £1000.00 for the Royal Theatrical fund in tribute to the classes I have given
Also during the lock down one of the Generation Dancers Jackie Travers wrote a song It won’t be long until we are together” and all the Generation dancers with the magic of technology recored the track and Nick produced it and did an amazing video with proceeds going to Dame Vera Lynn’s children’s charity
so that has been very special …
So really thats it all I think in a nutshell Thats the quick lock down catch up… will post special events as well
but if anyone reads it … remember
Wash your hands stay inside….. thank you baked potato
only shop in grocery stores… thank you beaked potato
and if you want to have a better day …
listen to what Baked potato says …
that song drove us insane lol!
take care stay safe ….. love Antx
