Hi Everyone
It’s been a while. 2017 wasn’t the best year.
After dying 4 times in Feb I was lucky to make a speedy recovery, only to be knocked sideways byAussie Flu, that was followed by a fairly dramatic reaction to antibiotics.
Thinking I was on the road to recovery I contacted my Cardiac Consultant when I became anaemic and no amount of liver & spinach would change it. He immediately admitted me and did a colonoscopy after finding a tumour on a scan ( nearly killed me again as my kidneys reacted to the contrast they used). This tumour was an adenocarcinoma – the worst bit was having to wait a month over Christmas whilst all teams came back from holidays.
Again I have been so lucky all removed with no need for further action. They did try and drown me by giving me too much IV fluids!!!!! Thank to all the staff at Prince Charles Hospital – I am here because of you.
Now it’s onwards & upwards. Instead of caravanning we are Cruising!!
We are taking the Astor back to the UK. We start on the 12th March and arrive in Tilbury on 20th April.
We are staying in a lovely spot near Colchester Essex. Link to the apartment – https://abnb.me/RHivVQmR3K
We then leaveThe UK on 15th Oct again on the Astor and return to Oz via the Panama Canal. We arrive in Sydney on Dec. 1st.
So excited can’t wait to see grandchildren and children & friends back in UK.. Eldest Grandie Lucy will be 21, Ollie has his 70 th. On the way we visit South Africa and do a couple of Safaris. So exciting.
This should be the first of many posts but whilst we are on the Cruise it may be a bit hit and miss..
