I am determined to walk every day unless it is raining in torrents. Today's walk was as far a our nearest postbox and back - about a mile and a quarter, so not far, but it's up and down hill all the way, so a good workout. It rained throughout - getting more determined the further I went so now trainers, coat, gloves and hat are drying by the radiators and my soggy socks are in the wash. I feel all the better for it as my hips were sore from sitting and sewing too much yesterday.
We have been joining in the Christmas University Challenge programmes - Tam is much more educated in the Sciences than us, having done two at A-level. I am best at Literature and Natural History and the periods of art which interest me most (Pre-Raphaelite and Impressionist). Keith is good at maths and ancient history. We are all good at archaeology and history generally.
Bits of old films have been watched here toom, but I managed to miss all of Murder on the Orient Express as I was making tea.
I am a widow for the second time - first marrriage 39 years, second marriage 23 years - both very happy. My second marriage was to a farmer and when he died the farm was sold. I now live in the nearby small town on the edge of Wensleydale in The Yorkshire Dales. My beloved Border Terrier died a couple of years ago - I still miss her but as I am 90 and need carers I shalln't get another I have one son,who lives nearby with his wife, three grandchildren, one step grandchild, two great grandchildren and two step great grandchildren..Life is good.
