A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Wiggly and I had been invited to the VIP lunch and special viewing stand to see the St Neots Carnival procession and so we quickly left Norfolk and arrived just in time.
After this, I met Debbie at the foot of the deus by prior arrangement and we walked down to the bicycle shop where I bought her the black mountain bike she had chosen with Di and she met Wiggly or the first time.
I tried to write up today's journal but found the film, "Good Morning Vietnam" and was late to bed.
This was quite a highlight of the year as, being the partner and guest of St Neots Town and District Councillor Wiggly, I was invited to the VIP lunch and Deus viewing stand to see the procession of carnival floats pass by.

Rushing off for a hectic day for Redgrave Stores getting approval from Bury St Edmunds magistrates court for granting our Protection Order to me to trade in alcohol.
Three meetings concerning publicity and point of sale software amidst confirmation from Sarah Francis accepting the job as manager to start on the 4th September.
Then across to see my friend Jim Bird. He had made great strides in terms of finishing off his dog kennels and garage which he showed us with pride.
We stayed at the Norwich Hotel Nelson and booked a double room for the night and, after washing and changing, walked over to our favourite Floating Restaurant and had a nice meal at 9.30pm
It was always going to be a busy day and so we were up early and packed to get ready for it.

After getting Sam organised with his worming tablets, I collected Debbie from Whitmarsh Sterland and then took her to Kimbolton where she got 5 "A" GCSE's amongst 9 and had done so well.
Then a walk with Wiggly for Sam together before she went to the first of two audition sessions for the St Neots Players pantomime with no indication as to whether she would be considered for the main one.
A working morning but at least I managed to get Sam organised with his worming tablets again.

When walking Sam, I resolved to spend more personal time and do some training with him as he was getting into some bad habits.
An office morning and evening and afternoon with Della at Woburn Safari Park as the weather breaks at last.
Catching up with work later as Wiggly had to go to a Town Council GP meeting after finding her GP meeting much better than usual
I was awake quite early at 7.00am and got up to make the tea after a little while; thinking that we had a lot to do after our recent Redgrave arrangements.

A shock concerning Wiggly’s play Blithe Spirit after I had visited The Hayling View to work and messaged Diana.
Wiggly and I enjoyed a salad at the Anchor in Tempsford whilst I reviewed her mornings work but then learnt that the play would have to be postponed due to a serious illness as Cathy has been suffering from breast cancer.
Tiredness overwhelmed me and then I fell asleep dictating my journal to Wiggly
I tried to get us up and breakfasted at a reasonable time and then we walked Sam together with me helping Wiggly learn her lines for Blithe Spirit.

An early start for a meeting with Redgrave Parish Chairman, Cllr Roger Gwynn. He and his wife were very supportive of my Redgrave plans.
Sarah was keen to move in and so I had several hectic negotiations with contractors in Diss for a bathroom for the shop flat.
It was a lightening visit to the boat and back to in St Neots by 7.30pm for a meeting of the Town Council group and they supported Wiggly’s letter which I had dictated.
I spent the evening with Nigel, trying to play snooker
We were in for an early start as I had arranged a meeting with Redgrave Parish Chairman, Cllr Roger Gwynn, at 9.00am in the village.
