By the sea again

My Dad had to be in Eastbourne this morning for his pacemaker check up, and my brother kindly took a day’s leave from work to drive him there. Mum and I came along for the ride.

The check up took minutes, and then Andy said he would take us to the seaside. We parked near the Redoubt and walked all the way to just beyond the pier, where we stopped for coffee and then walked all the way back again before returning to Uckfield for lunch. I was so happy to be back beside the sea!

All good things come to an end, however, and I had to say goodbye to my parents. It’s never easy.

I am staying with Andy and Ewa tonight in Isleworth, a stones throw from Twickenham Stadium. After a tasty soup supper and watching an episode of “Hijack” (tense!) I had to head out for a couple of times around the block to make up my 20,000 steps. Don’t know if I’ll manage to do that tomorrow…
