October 30th is a day of Rememberance in our home..

For it is the day that three VIP (to us & a lot of other people) died.

Edgar was the first, he died in 1997. They had known each other for a very long time and she will be eternally grateful to him for introducing her to two glorious men about whom we often write.. Bob Dundas and Tom (Thomas) Lampson.

One day soon we will write about the trip that they (Edgar and she) took through Sweden, Russia, Poland, Germany and Denmark twenty years ago. This was a major - think major in capital letters - trip by land and water!

Then her beloved Bill died in the early 2000's, oh dear.. he had been ill for a couple of years, which she only found out later after his death. He had not told her and forbade his family to do so. So it was a massive shock.

And then darling Suzan, aka Moley, died in 2012. It was her poor son, Austin, who had the gruesome task of telling us that she had died. Suzan, her equally adored husband, Lewis, and she met in London in October 1994 a few days after her return from the epic trip with Edgar.

Oi vey as they say..

You have to bless and love your loved ones and when they have gone, remember them for the joy and happiness that they brought to your life. Luckily, she also has some very sweet photos of the before mentioned friends, which reminds her that she has to copy some to send to members of their families and mutual friends.

And she has to go now to see her newly-wed and very happy looking dentist! Correction, no, she doesn't, she just looked at the appointment card and seen it is next Friday!

So she is going to Mail Box Etc to collect her new 'toy'.. a Bissell Vacuum cleaner! Yes, the mad upstairs neighbour who throws away everyone's mail can no longer do any damage, her mail gets sent to Mail Box and she collects it from them.

We will write a review upon this in my next post.. yubba-dubba-doo.. she loves a new electrical machine! So I wonder if I can get her to start using the very clever and compact Canon printer that someone has just given her, it makes photographs!

PipPip.. Dear Readers.. PipPip.
