A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
The family left Horning first as I called Wiggly and made our arrangements for the next few days.
Attended an evening LibDem meeting and I went back with Wiggly afterwards and we kissed and cuddled and I comforted her over the bad time she has been having at work.
The Harnser Morning routine with Diana waking up first and then me joining her, leaving the girls asleep for a while to save conflict in the bathroom.

A day in Norwich with family without my Christmas vouchers, having lunch in Oliver’s and buying more Canary tickets.
Acute problems with the UK Prison's Service as one inmate dies through lack of supervision and many more escape from Parkhurst as officer's morale is at rock bottom.
A better night, with warmer bed-clothes and even three pairs of socks kept on until the bed was warm! Slept well until my organiser alarm awoke us as planned with a "reveille" type call at 7.30am.

After a cold night, out with Sam through the crunchy ice of Crabbet’s marsh road and then Sales Shopping with the family at Latham's in Potter Heigham, before an evening pantomime of The Theatre Royal's production of the "Alladin".
I won time to phone Wiggly tonight. She had enjoyed her first day back after good catching-up session the day before.
A mixed night as I first struggled to get my feet warm and then worried about my cover falling off all night. Awake early but had snoozed off again by the time Diana woke me up at 8.00am.

Di and family joins me at icy, cold and flooded Ropes Hill Dyke after I had travelled from Eynesbury and bid farewell to Wiggly. I met Di at the top of the road to escort her car through the flood until safely in the garage.
News of a voltage surge doubling power to a neighbourhood in Norwich and causing electrical appliances to burst into flames and thirty people had to evacuate their homes.
Cruel storms and high tides threatened the Norfolk coast and a barge building the new reef off of Sea Pauling was driven onto the reef rocks. Norwich lost 4-0 to Liverpool in a televised match
We both slept well at Montagu Street after Wiggly had brought in a second duvet from the next bedroom until first woken by a false alarm from her car outside.

Relaxing day at Hail Weston House and then Montague Street with Wiggly; parting with Nigel and his family and then making love before eating, writing and then both tired to bed with no enthusiasm for anything but sleep.
I was first to wake in our room at Hail Weston House around 8.00am and then, having shaved and washed, succeeded in getting Wiggly up to join me for a bath next door.
