Am I saying I can stay sober for a year…not sure yet, but I used a phrase yesterday which resonated with me “I am making, not having a drink the habit” and I think that’s what I am working on? It’s the daily drinking that brought me here not the special days, yesterday and Thanksgiving […]
Went to the lakes today with Phoenix 5 for the first time in two years and it was great to get out and be with the lads especially John who I always enjoy being around. It was an early start 5am and it was just John and I in my car because we are will […]
We went into Middlewich for the Christmas light switch on there is usually a craft fair and lots of fairground rides for the kids but again this year it was minimal but as always well attended. We met up with Kate Chris and their kids to watch the fireworks and go to the pub where […]
Jamie has applied to the British Government to become a Citizen of Great Britain, to become a dual citizen like Reagan and Lincoln. It is the final step in her immigration journey, she does not have to do it because her Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) visa means she can live here without any other […]
Started a new pool season tonight after the 2019/20 season was disrupted by Covid in March 2020 and finally completed in November 2021 so this new season was quickly turned around so they can try and get back in synch.

You could say I am obsessed…a bit? I know Jamie never thought she would move 4500miles to be with a man that is Broncos mad, but I absolutely love watching them play live. Yes it has to be live, because of the excitement and anticipation you get with live sport, if it’s already happened you […]
I decided to take some time for myself today and just go for a walk so I got Billy and headed down the canal towards Sandbach and turned at Dragons Lane and headed towards Wimboldsley. It was a crisp day when we set out but it soon started to snow which I can’t remember the […]
I remember taking the original photo but I don’t remember what they were waiting for, Mommy was not there maybe it was Mommy, anyway I took it and then each year I have taken the same photo each Thanksgiving. I hope I can continue doing this for many many years to come! I love these […]
Jamie and I went for a walk up to Norman’s Wood to let Billy run off a head of steam. We were hoping for a lovely crisp frosty morning but what we got was a dark wet blustery November morning, not that Billy cared! It may have been wet but what a beautiful autumn scene […]
