Love her! I would love to take my mum out and about in my van, but she can't leave my mad old dad. I do get her out on an exciting trip to Tesco from time to time though. To see her skipping (yes, skipping) up and down Tesco's aisles is a thing to behold, all 82 years young and about 6 and a half stone of her .....!
 
With my Son deciding to return to the USA the impromptu trip "oop Norf" to visit Mum in a Saddleworth nursing home had to take place.

She's 94, immobile and can't speak due to strokes, but the old girl still has all her marbles. Always a wanderer and explorer she adores Albert and going about in him. Her genes have certainly rubbed off on me .

Just wonderful we bought Gracie with the money my dad left me. He had had a stroke too and would gave absolutely loved coming out in her. He was a world traveller, runs in the genes!

I bought this one:

to get my very cronky dad into the van for hospital visits. We brought the back seat forward so he could grab the sides of the van and scoot round into the back seat. It took a bit of perfecting, but now we know how to get him in and out it has made hospital visits a lot easier.

Among the great whites. Sometimes I get tired if all the comments about our Cali. Yesterday a couple came by to have a look. The guy was impressed but the lady not so much pointing at our children: isn’t it cold up there?! What new crap they come up with!!

What's up...???
Not usually what you expect on this page. But imagine having a 19month old with vomiting and sickness.
The first 48hrs of this Northern Spain trip has been an absolute nightmare...!!!

Sunday at the Beach (with the Ocean). Surfs up in a light breeze, and one of the rare sunny days in 2017 is consumed …
