David A Broad
A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
From Brighton to Paxton after my break with Diana and memory lane visits to Shoreham and Falmer giving over the driving seat as I carried on familiarising myself with the Psion organiser.
Five British tourists, crashed to their death on a skiing holiday in Isola near the Italian border.
I was first awake again at 7.30am this time and, the room still being dark, I got head-to-tail with Diana and made her massage me to satisfaction in return for what I did for her last night.

A comfortable Brighton stay with Diana in a warm room and then making love on our 26th Anniversary. A good shopping outing for both of us and then the film "The Specialist" at the Cannon Cinema before dinner at a nice Chinese Restaurant.
The sad news today was of the death of a pretty blonde 5-year-old girl from Meningitis locally and of the confinement in hospital of her best friend.
The heavy rain and wind was even worse in The West Country where rivers have become swollen and overflowed their banks
The room was comfortable but very hot for sleeping but, as we did not have anything energetic to do it did not matter very much.

After a fruitless search for Debbie’s mountain bike, driving from Paxton to Brighton for a 26th Anniversary Holiday with Diana, staying in the The Brighton Thistle Hotel.
Then a meal in Brown’s on a wet and windy day.
I did not sleep very well last night, fretting over the stupid loss of Debbie's mountain bike but then when I woke up, I put this to good use.

Boxing Day trip to Norwich to watch Norwich lose out to Tottenham with Jim in an exciting match at Carrow Road.
Home to Paxton to find Debbie’s new mountain bike stolen having been left outside.
After the late Christmas Eve and early Christmas Day, it was a priority to get a long night's sleep and a pleasure to get a lay in for a while this morning.

Christmas Day with Diana and the family opening a huge selection of presents between bracing walks with Sam.
The girls got to enjoy their new bikes last and were thrilled.
It was a surprise to see all the frost and ice melted this morning as milder weather and drizzle had arrived overnight.

A clearer day for shooting in the field opposite but very cold with thick rhyme encasing twigs and grass.
Then to take the family out for lunch at the Little Paxton Little Chef again that the Southoe branch had closed.
further walk for Sam around Paxton Pits and then hosting Diana’s Christmas Eve family party with Sue across from Colchester having picked up Charles and Norma on the way.
Charlie, Chrisula and their children also arrived later
The fog yesterday had stayed all day but, although the weather today was as cold if not icier, at least it was clear.
