Well hello. It's been a while. It was 8 months from the last post to the previous one to that and it's a bit longer this time. The last day I wrote was 10 Jul 2021. On 12 July my son and I were finally seeing Tim Minchin after booking it before we went to Europe at the end of 2019. It was going to be April 2020, but changed a few times and although it was a school night (year 12 for Alex) we went for dinner and sat in the show. My Mum had gone to hospital that morning and my sister was still at the hospital with her. Just after interval I got a message on my phone, "get to the hospital now". So we raced out and to the hospital where. although it was a lockdown and no visitors allowed, all 10 of us were allowed to see Mum as she was end of life. I won't go into the whole thing but Mum didn't die that night, but because of lockdown, we were not allowed to go and see her until a week and a half later when we were allowed just to discuss palliative care.

Also - I totally loved the Grasshopper Adventure tour company... if you google them up, you'll see they do other countries and with lots of different levels of cycling! There's family rides that are a little shorter, with less distances each day... but one of the ladies on our ride had ridden previously with her friend's 10 and 12 year olds... so worth checking out. I think we'll do a Vietnam bike tour next!
