Well I had a few days away -took a respite break . I used some of my CHC respite funding to have our team of carers looking after V at home from Saturday to Tuesday and I shot off to stay with my daughter Kate in Worthing .She treated me right royally . She had booked a trip to the cinema - (haven't been for over three years ) fed me ( no cooking pure bliss ) . Filled my wine glass and took me out and about .I was really pampered and it was good to spend time with her away from home and all that goes with it .
Monday was a terrible day weather wise but undaunted we set of through wind and rain towards Beachy Head . The South Downs , an old haunting ground of mine in student days , were looking magnificent under a glowering sky . Great rolling curvaceous hills , there is something very sensuous about them as they rise and fall along the south coast . We stopped at Birling Gap and were able to stand for a few moments admiring the view along the Seven Sisters , the name given to the white chalk cliffs . The clouds parted and there was just the faintest hint of blue .But the wind was ferocious and we quickly retreated to the car for fear of being blown away - just enough time for a quick photo and then off for a pub lunch .
It all went past too fast but hopefully I shall be able to put another package together in a few months time . V barely seemed to notice I had gone which was a blessing although I think I detected a slightly grumpy atmosphere on my return !!
