Having promised myself I would go on a quiet holiday - just me, nobody else - when I left the Navy in '79. I never quite got round to doing it, something always happened which prevented or took me in a different direction in my life.
Now that I have this Ataxia, I decided before I lose all my control to do it.
A week long holiday in Kielder Reservoir holiday lodge😀 All on one level, fully fitted for the disabled, self catering😀
It's like taking my home with me.....
Restaurant is ten minutes from lodge & they do takeaways. Lodge is surrounded by fields/trees & all paths are flat no banks/hills for powerchair to climb😀
Brother will be taking me up and collecting after my week....
I'm so looking forward to it now that I have booked. Sitting on the porch listening to my music at night or just listening to the night sounds.....................bliss😉
Something to really look forward to. Have a REALLY good time and don't forget to report back. Who knows, we may all join you one year---------that'. would spoil your peace and quiet
Funny saying you could join me one year, the Lodge I'm booked in can sleep up to seven at a push.
I would have answered earlier but not been 100% myself. Feeling OK now🤗
Got a home visit from a Consultant of Old Age Psychiatry next Tuesday, follow up on my memory checks - I do have to write everything down to remind me of things to do🙄
Even making a cup of tea, I must stay in the kitchen or I'll forget what I was doing 😂😂😂
I have notes all over the place reminding to do this and do that etc....
If there is one thing I could change in my life, one thing I could go back and change in my life given the chance....🤔
Having had the chance to be at my Father's side as he passed away.... but I was in the Navy a long way from home.
