Welcome to the Final Week in the reign of Regal Roslyn.
As our involvement in swimming decreased, we developed more and more interest in our home and garden. Attending swimming training camps, league galas and committee meetings gave way to small landscaping projects, boarding lofts and laying laminate flooring! We had always been ones to do our own painting, wallpapering etc. and gradually this became almost an obsession, maintaining our home in pristine condition. Likewise in the garden, our hanging baskets, borders and tubs became the talk of the neighbourhood and many a visitor failed to find a single weed in the manicured lawn
In the last couple of years, our children have (finally!) flown the nest and become property owners themselves, so you would think that this would mean more time to ourselves for leisure and to follow our hobbies. But, of course, No! Suddenly there were three houses to maintain. Abi’s house has been completely transformed with every room being fully decorated over the last eighteen months. Jonathan has a brand new flat, so not much maintenance required there yet, but it will only be a matter of time before he wants some decorating and DIY done too!

Yes, Dustybun, coming from the Algarve. Before that I was in Cornwall and I have two of my three sons living in the Isle of Man, so I spend time there, too. Perhaps we can make contact? Crofter has my e-mail address if you have it and you'd rather not post it here. Which dhurch do you go to in Spilsby? I will be looking for a church.
Oh gosh Christiana ~ I hope you've plenty of warm clothes coming from there! At the moment it is sunny but bitterly cold here but then it's the same all over the country. Crofter has my e-mail too so we can perhaps use him (with his kind permission, of course), to get in touch. I go to the Catholic church (small off-shoot from Skegness) and the CofE is right next door.
