June 25th
We did manage to get away, not to Yorkshire, but 'down south' to Dorset. We had good news last week, all clear with Ian's scan. Oh, actually that's not strictly true because a small nodule was found on his adrenal gland. Now, this nodule was present on a scan way back in 2015, consultant then was not concerned, so why worry about it now? Anyway, an appointment was made at city hospital for mid-August, I'm sure the NHS are determined not to let him go!
As for my knee situation, I have an appointment at a private hospital on the 1st July. Fingers crossed I won't have to long to wait for the op.
It was a spur of the moment decision, then, to get away for 4 days. I found a site near to Lyme Regis, looked lovely and quiet and had a fully serviced hard standing site available. (water and grey water disposal) And yes it was everything the website had described, dog friendly, electric hookup, 2 fishing ponds, good walks, pub nearby but what was not mentioned was the roads leading to the site. Nearly three miles of narrow lanes with the occasional passing place. When the hedges started touching both sides of the motorhome, it was a little worrying! I often wonder how these sites are allowed to open when getting to them is so bad. Plenty of caravans as well, must have been a nightmare for them if they had met another vehicle. We were lucky, only had to reverse twice, so the decision was made to spend a very quiet few days not moving off site, so plenty of card games played, and I walked the best I could with my stick whilst hanging on to Ian's arm. The journey back wasn't quite as stressful, as we found a slightly shorter route back to the main road. Still bad enough though, and we felt lucky not to meet anything, apart, that is, the dustcart and that was going our way!
And once back on FS, a new family of ducklings emerged. More food for the Pike!
