it's been lovely to have a whole month (almost) off, and especially this last week when I had a proper holiday, just a few miles along the road at a canal-side apartment with a very longstanding friend.  So many things I could share, but among the standouts were...

• Long walks, including ending up literally knee deep in mud on one occasion
• The 'Secret Nuclear Bunker' which far from glorfiying war sets alongside a whole range of exhibits on communications a really hard-hitting banned at the tome documentary on what nuclear war might have looked like in the 1970s (the views of the Church have changed dramatically since then). 
• The Velocity zip slide, a delayed 60th birthday present!
• Celebrating 14 years since my cancer diagnosis and still being a NED - a lovely meal out.
• Slowing down and simply being without any expectations.

Unfortunately the zip slide video is too big to up load, so settling for s screen shot from it!
