Up in Rochdale.

Well today me and John and Edward are up in Rochdale,Lancashire.
We 're here so John can do some work on our Land rover....I am having a well earned rest, Edward is having a great time with his Granny and Grandad and uncle Barcley....and Benji the crazy hound is having lots of extra walks.....
I still in pain but it's eased more today a bit more, still on all my  painkillers and I hoping to get out later for a short walk with Benji.....
Although it looks like it could rain soon.
Had a reasonable nights sleep to last night....and was up at 9am this morning. John's mum made soup for lunch and we're having steak and kidney pie for ur tea....We always get well fed up here and it's always good homesome good food and plenty of it too....We have puddings most nights too....
Had a good walk last night with John and Benji, althoughy my left hip was suffering most of the day, not quite sure what i had done to it, but the walk eased the pain, so did the painkillers later....
Think i'm going to talk about my favorite hobby next....

  1. Had a really tasty dinner (tea)
    steak and kidney pie peas and chips, followed by melon chucks....we're all very stuffed relaxing now, with a glass of wine.
    Going to visit one of my favorite garden centres tomorrow, "Gorden Riggs" it oposite where Johns parents live, they have lots of very good quality plants and loads of garden sundries and some of the best compost i've ever used.
    Don't think i'll be getting any plants this visit.
    I'm looking forward to start growingb this years crops to...must have a look at the veg seeds which they sell at Riggs.
    As i've still got a few veg seeds to collect.
    And i'm still looking for ine type of tomato seed which i grow last year called "Garten Perle" I can not remember where i got them from....I might / hopefully find them tomorrow...

    Had a good nights sleep, so did Edward and John.

    Had a walk to the local post office this morning, had all my pain killers before I went.
    Had about a mile to walk...round trip.
    Was well knackered when I got back, Had a coffee and biscuits with John and his mum and dad.Edward has crashed out as he'd been out with granny and grandad this morning.
    John's getting on ok with the land drover the old water pump is nearly off, but we've now deciced that it would be a good time to put on a new timing belt as we're due one in a couple of months time, and as John's got most of the front of the land rover off, it semms pointless to leave it to later in the year, to do the whole thing again.

    It's a bit wet up here today so I might leave my walk to the garden centre for another day, but f it brightens up later I might just venture out.

    Edward had a really nice time this morning with granny and grandad he went to there church to set up for tomorrows service and then on to morrisons and had a piece of cake which he really enjoyed. When he got back he had some milk and biscuits, then went off to bed.

    I'm feeling ok today and it does do me alot of good when I come up here to Rochdale, I can rest and do as much or as little as I like......

    John's ok he does work hard....and I do try to help him when I can....But his dad is helping himand his brother Barcley helps him when he's not working....which he is today .

    Anyway lunch is almost ready, not sure what we are having today, hopefully soup and sandwiches, my favorite lunch up here.

    Just found out we're having bbq pork for our tea that's very tasty.

    I'll be back later.

    Had a good nights sleep again....even though we didn't go to bed until after midnight as we sat up watching a couple of films. Brassed off being one of them.....

    Edward managed to wake us all up at 6-30am but soon got sorted out with a nappy change and bottle of milk. Sleot then until 8-30am....so did we.

    Nice start to the day, sunny but cold, now gone cloudy, but still warmer than it has been up here.
    John is still busy working on the land rover, Edward is now fast asleep...having his morning nap, granny and grandad have gone off to church and I'm having a relaxing morning not doing an awful lot, I have just washed up and had a quick tidy up for granny though...Edward the whirlwind did make rather a lot of mess this morning....

    Hopefully I'll be able to get out this afternoon...maybe even go over to the garden centre, which I have been promising my self since we got up here...

    I've just had my morning coffee, no biscuits or cake today.....But will be this afternoon.....

    We're on veg soup for lunch and I've lose 3Lb in weight since i've been up here....

    John and me weighed ourselves before we came up here niether of us were happy with our weight, I was 16st 5Lb and John was 16st 12Lb....I'm aiming to lose a good couple of stone in the next few months,so is John....We both need to...
    I can remember when for years I weighed just 9st 12Lb...I hoping to get down to at least 12st. I managed to lose a couple of stone before Christmas and got down to a size 16 dress size, I'm sure if i'm careful and eat the right things I can get down to the weight I want to be...and of course carrying this extra weight do not help my arthritis as i put extra strain on all my joint especally my knees....

    Anyway going to do a bit more of my life story now...see you later....Lady Sarah.

    It was very cold up here last night the pond has well over an inch of ice on it even with the pump running.

    I'm still suffering with my back and hip but you get used to the pain after all this time and learn to cope with it.

    Edward has gone out with granny and grandad they'll be back fir coffee and bisciuts shortly. John is still working on the car he's welding today. Benji has the right idea he's fat asleep in front of the fire....

    Had a reasonable nights sleep but could of done with a bit longer, might go for a lie down this afternoon when Edward does....

    Soup again for lunch with sandwiches...think i'll have fruit for my pudding...

    Not sure what's on the menu for dinner tonight though...Last nights was very tasty 3 fish bake with roast vegetables, we had jelly and ice cream for dessert, very nice it was too....

    We watched him in Les Mis last night I was very impressed...He's rather gorgeous...Well I think so....
    Steve Wright is on right now....

    I'm having another restful day as yesterday seemed to of eased the pain quite a bit off for a shower later...The water up here is very soft...I drink gallons of it while I'm here...and show everyday as it makes my skin very soft too....

    Benji is also asleep in his bed after his walk and playing out side this morning.....The land rover is going for it;s MOT hopefully tomorrow...I do hope it passes as I'd like to get home soon....

    We've managed to sort out another land rover, John's parents have also got another newer car they've now got a volvo.

    We'll hopefully be making are way back home tomorrow but more likely to be Wednesday.
