Dear All

Thanks Pete for your lovely message. It is 4 am and I am very restless, so have decided to get up from my bed. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, they are a great help to me. Dad has told you all my itinerary ?is that right? I go into hospital today. I have much trouble in my life with anxiety, and try as I will it always makes me nervous - possibly something to do with thyroids.
We enjoyed a day at Seaview with Stephen who I am delighted to say has come to spend some time with us. Enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Seaview Hotel and spent most of the afternoon watching the passage of different craft on the ideal waters; very relaxing as it turned out to be a very warm day. It now shows signs of Autumn with misty mornings and earlier darkness in the evening, so I am sorry about that! We would love to stay with you again Pete, in sunny Spain and have fun with you all - I remember our last holiday in Alphaz and that was grand. As to your message I have no regrets. My dear Hugh and our wonderful children and partners and our delightful grandchildren are all so precious to me. I will be fine - don't worry. Perhaps we can all meet in Meze next summer to celebrate Cathy's 50th?? Your loving Mum

9 am. That was written by Mum early this morning, and put on the blog word for word by me. I have just read Nic's blog and looked at the Maglev web site. What a wonderful monorail. 30 miles in 8 minutes - amazing.
We have read Beth's blog and I mis-interpreted Jessica's message to Steve, thinking that you have had Rolf with you and his brother Neil. I have just realised that Pete's neighbour Neil must be old Mace. Neil Mason. Rolf's brother is not Neil is it? More later as breakfast calls. Love from Dad
