THEN TO TUESDAY

I had a most unusual experience 
Coming home on the bus from the hearing aid clinic. At hipperholme cross roads a small elderly lady obviously suffering Downs Syndrome
Got onto the bus with a middle aged Jamaican lady who I resumed was her carer.
Never had I met either of the two women before.
To my absolute amazement 
The little downs syndrome lady
Clearly said
Good bye David 

THE UPS AND DOWNS OF THE PAST FIVE DAYS

We have just had the most magnificent weekend. Starting on Saturday, our good friends, Maureen & Bruce Heath
called to pick us up and drive us to Pocklington.
There we had lunch at the Feathers Inn
After lunch, Bruce drove us to meet our other long standing friends, Wendy & Lance Murgatroyd
They have to finest caravan set up that I have ever seen
Their hospitality is without doubt the best
I had intended to have a relatively dry weekend it was not to be
We both ate & drank like true Yorkshire gormandisers  
The conversations were to say the least stimulating 
After a wonderful day quite late in the evening we took a taxi home. 
The following day after taking a tour of Pocklington we came 
back home carefully driven by Bruce
On arrival at home we called round to see Gemma, Mark & Georgia Esme , our most recent great Grandchild.
Esme had not been very well, sleeping most of the day and crying at night. It must have been most exhausting for them
After quick visit to Tesco we went home. and as is our habit went to look at the incoming Emails
One sad email told us that another very good friend of ours, Rod Blayney Simpson had gone to Spain and suffered a severe heart attack Information kindly supplied by Sue Blythe
