A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Norfolk to Paxton and more time with Wiggly and I took Sam for a good run around the Crabbet’s Marsh Road and then we left for Winterton and watched the sea before getting some refreshments and setting off home.
After such a dream night, we spent the first part of the day packing up. We had a look up in the old Heronshaw building and brought out the oak gate-leg table and packed it as Wiggly had a good use for it.

Leaving early for Norfolk collecting Wiggly and her things from Eynesbury and to the five-ways roundabout and a chance to exercise Sam before having a mug of tea and continuing to Norwich.
I bought Wiggly some Lingerie and saw Norwich draw with Arsenal at Carrow Road the rain coming down in torrents making playing conditions difficult. A nice meal in the Hong Kong Restaurant and afterwards our mutual pleasure to end the day.
My objective was to leave before 8.00am and so Diana was good enough to get up at 6.00am as usual and to bring me my morning tea soon after.

Working at home and a good long run at Molesworth where he pointed and flushed well and then over to see Robert Ward at Manor Farm and, over coffee, to hear of his woes and his cultivation plans.
Then a meeting Wiggly on her day off where I talked through her problems with the Amateur Dramatic Society and her councillor case work.
After Sam's walk and tea, I took Diana to see the film, "Wolf", which was ridiculous but quite gripping but Michelle Pffifer was worth the visit.
A slower start to today such that I could not get out in time to see the girls off to school at the bus stop but they were all right.

A day of rest and relaxation and watching a recording of the England vs. United States international football match from satellite TV last night. A call from Wiggly saying that her 22-year-old friend Ann Rennie had agreed to come out with Nigel and us to make up a foursome next Tuesday.
Struggling to help with Sheila Shorten as I revealed that the LibDem group now seems resolved to expel Ross and a long call also from Jim Bird organising some shooting for the weekend.
A US Air Boeing 747 plane crashes in America, killing all 131 people as many ask why they have suffered five air crashes in as many years.
It was after midnight before I got to bed and so missed the action last night. Up at the normal time and saw the girls off to school and had some croissants for breakfast before taking Sam out for a low-key walk.

The day bill paying & telephoning friends and walking the girls back to the school bus stop and some time with Wiggly.
Pressure is mounting on John Major to recognise the IRA's sincerity and this showed as he had a flaming row at No10 with the extreme Ulster Unionist the Rev Ian Paisley.
My old sparring partner Conservative Leader Derek Holley, had been into Papworth for quadruple heart bypass surgery and will not be active until November which is sad.

As Diana took the girls on an outing, I slept in and then returned to dog training and paperwork.
This as the Irish Premier Albert Reynolds was putting pressure on John Major to accept the good faith of the IRA by meeting Seinn Feinn leader, Gerry Adams in Dublin today
I had planned a much more relaxing day as Diana was taking my car and, with it, the girls for an outing.
