guess what its raining!!

Hi

Its been a lovely couple of days, with some stunning views, but its has been wet and cold, with some nice gusts of wind thrown in there for good measure!! I would say its alright for me cos im not out there walking but i have to keep myself busy , yesturday was a 5 hour walk (not nice!) slo i though ok i will actually do something, i decided on Newquay as i havent been for a while.....uuummmmm well that was a silly ideea, not only was it god awlfully wet but it was hilly too, with silly one way straights not making much sense, i got completely lost so just packed up in a car park!, once out and in the chair, i then realised i was at the top of newquay and everyuthing was below me....like a prat i am i thought oh well i will just go that steep hill (which was fun) and have a look around.....not remembering that i would have to go back up that fun hill (not so fun took me 15 minuates and it was that long)i decided after about 10 minuates that this wasnt the place for an over weight cripple in a wet wheelchair to be alone! so headed tot he car. Mac was very excited to see me...not sure why but had a great cuddle, took ,me another 15 minaute to prize him off me so that i could drive. Once in the car and motional i then realised i needed a wee....bollocks! So of i went looking for somewhere that would disbled toliets and that were not on a hill!! Found somewhere....Newquay Zoo, i thought to myself there are worse places to go for a tiddle!! Probaberly less expensive places too, although they do great discount for disabeld adults and children :). after i was releaved, i thought well im here so why not take a look around.....but of course it was raining and appeartly the animals doint come out in the rain...you think that they wiyld be used to it here in the UK!! So what most people would do, i gave up on the animals and headed for a drink in the cafe...got treated like royalty not surte whay but it was very nice hehe.

GFetting back intot he car was fun, i realised that i needed to put the chair right at the back cos next stop was picking up Roz and mummy, the chair was wet and seemed heavier than usual...probs cos it was wet and still had my bag on the pack...duhhhh!!

Thinking that i had loads of time i stopped of at tesco cos we needed milk and something for dinner, (another wheelchair lift in the cold and wet.... :(, im getting better at it... though this time was not a great one....as i was holding the chair out the slid back dooe, i lent to get a wheelchair, and the chair frame went flying.thankfully missing the car next to me but managing to get well out of my reach...you may b surprised to know that there are some situations that i dont crawl on my back side to reach things...to damn wet...nice man helped me shortly after though and put the chair together for me...that was very kind. another nice man congratulated me on packing myself away and be so good at it, and having such lovley dogs...lovely :).

To wet and cold to do dinner at campsite so we had steind fish and chip.....wow they were good and not expensive either.

Having a day off today...the wind would blow them of the cliff (not a great idea), soo we are heading back to newquay, and i get help with the chair....yay.


speak to you soon
take care xxxx

In the pub...and rain!

Hi all, welcome to the rainy country!! i have to say that coming from Wales i thought i would be used to a little down poor and a bit of a gusty breeze...but i was wrong a little rain is one thing constant wet stuff falling from the sky with a strong pounding gust is a totally different and rather unpleasant thing if i do say so myself. we are in a totally amazing part of cornwall, so i am very happy in my Gerti driving up and down 1 in 4s or i think 1 in 3!!
(mother get off my cake NOW please) we are sittin gin Tintagel having a pint and a nice meal, as its wet and blusstery on our cliff top campsite.

Mummy and Roz have done some very hard walks, but are still enjoying it, we had a great couple of games of cards last nite, its normally uno but cant find the cards, gerti is hiding them! It was very jolly we sang all through the games very loud and slightly annoyingly hehe, mummy and roz were so intot he singing that i even had time to cheat so blatently hehe.

Im sorry this is short and sweet but mother is giving me a look that tells me to let her use the laptop, and when a daughter gets that look you have to obey, so for now i bid you farewell until next battery charge up (whenever and whereever that will be) i shall enjoy my cake and have a sleep in gerti.

Take care

Head Injury!!

Hello folks, well what a mad couple of days it has been. not sure whether im coming or going, mind you that might be more todo with the amount of times i have hit my head going from the front of my home tot he back. lol

Gerti is doing me proud, shinning from the inside, she has most defently got a personality, and i can deal with that, we have come to respect one another!

Have been up to some intersting things, but the only one actually worth mentionaing is the Gnome reserve hehe, it was fabulous, loved every mad, other world, slight stoned feeling minuate of it! Wacky isnt the word, actually it was the most exciting thing, thats not sad before you go "aawww SAD", in actualy fack it was inspiring fun by a very good artist (explains everything really), i got me a pixie, its a clown pixie :).

Mother and Roz still managing to wind me up each and every way possible (mother after 24 years dont you think that reading over my shoulder woyuld annoy me STILL), but i would suspectt that my hat, glove and hoodie collection growing, my minuate to minuate mood changes and my obscently muddy wheels is proberly doing the same to them lol. All is good though, milo thinks his feet have got wheels attached, he never stops, well unless faced with a sheer drop in gales force winds and thrashing rain (mother stop it).

Sorry have to go now will catch up you more (sorry did not work that sentence but in the dark so not sure where the backspace is to delete!!!) Uno is being dealt and by far the mosyt important things happening right...sponsored walk BORING, uno now thats where the moneys at!!!!

bye for now and wish me luck.....must beat them 2note!1

Mothers Day

Just me again, just saying hello, been having a giggle the last few days, ive been tired and my back and hips are really suffering, but oh well.
Really excited about moving campsites tomoz, i really like this one, but is always fun to pack up and move on, its like proving to us that we are getting somewhere!!! the walkers did Appledore to Westword Ho!, it was a quick walk and nice and flat, so no moaning and whats more they were up for doing things with me after yay,
I had already been up to alot once i picked them, up, wekk i had been shopping anyway!!! got a cioupoke of bits but most importantly i got them some more liner socks, im a good driver.
I have decided that i am the mother of the group as i do think that the walkers do needa a bit of mothering!! Its hard work cos they are the kind of children that know better or think they do!!!, but im standing strong and mother si always rite hehe, mond you i didnt get any mothers day presents or cards!!! lol lol lol

I had better go i will right more 2moz cos rite now i just want to lay down and rest my back.

WE are doing really well we are walkind from croyde bay toda, which should be a nice one, i like it cos i get to look at surfers he he. I think i might do some painting today as well.

I am a little bit bored just because i dont really have time to do much between dropping off and picking up, do have time for lunchand a quick read but not much more at the moment, which is ok, i am enjoying driving, its realy god fun.

Its bloody cold at themoment, i dont think i have woken up with out the inside and outside of the car frozen solid yet. The campsites have bn ok, the last one wasnt very accessable for me, but we manage ok, it was sleeping in a mini city, or worksite, so couldnt really relax, very unlike the one that we mov ed to estrday its fantastic theogs can wonder free, and they love the farm dog benny, mac and him hae a wnderful time, the re the same ae so itsperfect for them, its an amazing place on top of a hill, looking down on busy Barnstal below, not that you would know, its silent, birds singing thier songs and thats it, stunning. I am happy cos its sooo easy for me. We went out last night, we onlywoned to get a pint and some chis cos its to windy here for cooking, but we landed on an amazing restaurant, and wow i had a good meal. :)

I had better get going i am not dressed the walkers want to get going!! now they ve had their porridge ad cup of cooffee.

Will speak soon hopefully, take care all

Good Day :)

Evening all,

Today was a good day, i got lots done while 'they' were walking 8.7 miles, but the miles were worth it they got to go passed a marine base, big hunky guys n uniform what could be better hehehe.
While they were strolling along having a fab time lol, i was hard at work, there were surfers to admire and the man in uniform to chek out, hard work you know!! Other tn the tedious man hunting! i also tried to mend the car, took a while, as everything is in Japanese, btnow i know what the problem is all i have to do is find a toyota garage to givemesome parts and i a away.
I did have time to checkoute local bowling alley though did not get a chce at actual bowling, thought i might look a bit 'billy no mates' hich mabe true forsome of teday but theres no point in flainting about Barnstaple. I did have a game f guitar hero, thuht i might make myself look a abit 'hip', unfortunately i put it too hard a level and instead make an arse of myself....i was happytoug and had a good giggle :).

FOund a lovely garden centre whic gave e an oppertuntie to purchase aother dog bowl for treacle as i accidently destroyed the other one with the car...ie run over it! hehehe.

Thaabut all really other than just driving around everywhere to kill time, found some lovely little roads, then turnd around quickly before they got any smaller lol. Im a wuss ..........and proud!! tough i can do 1 in 4s from bothdirections....go me and gerti (the car, i thinkthat she is a russian transvestite, real guts and slight acsent in her grunt!!)

Take care all
