Half-term this week and last weekend I was in Devon visiting my parents. Two of the three days I spent with them were filled with glorious sunny weather. We walked at Exmouth and I was able to walk further than I have in months, over two miles. I was very pleased although I think my parents, in their late seventies, were slowing down to make it easier for me! Never mind, it has lifted my spirits to realise that although its taking longer than my impatient self would like, I am recovering.
As always I come home wishing that I did not live so far away. My parents are in good health and very active at the moment but if that was to change, it would be easier if I were nearer. Coming home in rainy conditions and encountering traffic problems, the journey was a tiring four and a half hours - not the sort of distance where I could just drop in to see that they are ok.
Next weekend I am travelling in the other direction visiting eldest son at university. I have booked cheap hotel rooms and I am treating him to a night away. The one thing he seems to be looking forward to is being able to have a soak in a pristine clean bath! This year he is sharing a house with four other lads, cleaning isn't top of their priority list!

The traffic doesn't sound fun but the visit itself sounds great :) Too funny but oh so true about college cleanliness. Hope he enjoyed that long soak. Hope you've been well and continue to recoup!
