A short post I’m afraid. Today is Sunday of a holiday weekend and the Captain and I are in England to celebrate a major birthday of our dear friend Michael. We are staying with him and wife Trish at the new home they moved into a week ago.

 Downsized into from the family home where they raised three children, with acres (literally) of space and weren’t expecting to leave quite this soon.

But move they have as a buyer came along and within five minutes they’ve upped and moved. All great stuff, and a big birthday to celebrate too, surrounded by wonderful friends, increasing family and a positive attitude to be envied by people half their age.

I should be writing posts – I have my laptop with me – but there’s little time to write as there’s so much fun going on. Nor will there be internet connection at the Johnson household till next Wednesday at the earliest which is essential for posting wonderful, stimulating blogs. 

I’m grabbing this chance of 15 minutes of wi-fi during a visit to the parents to let you know that normal blogging service will be resumed as soon as we return to the Netherlands.

Assuming I’m not too exhausted from having a great time . . .
