Half-Term

It’s the last day of the half-term holiday and we had all sorts of plans for different trips this week. Unfortunately the weather had different plans for us. With Storm Dennis following closely on the heels of Storm Ciara, there are several areas of the country that have been flooded. Luckily for us, we were not affected by flooding, we just had the wind and rain to contend with.

It was strange seeing images of Ironbridge, where we were a few weeks ago, being flooded and seeing parts of the road we walked along now being part of the River Severn. We really feel for everyone, everywhere, affected by the flooding and hope that things get back to normal as quickly as possible.

We chose to stay close to home for this week as none of us particularly like cold, wet and windy weather! John also has concerns about his hearing aids becoming wet, and if George needs to use his chair, we’ve found that it doesn’t cope well with wet surfaces. With hindsight, I wish that we’d got a chair that is a bit more rugged and can cope with wet or uneven surfaces better than the one that we have.

Hopefully the weather will start to improve for us, so we can get out and about again very soon 🙂
