Us with Billy in 1971

fly

very much a sedentary Bear these days.

in the first of the the new Dr. Who series he says he will be back in 5 mins, the little girl rushes away sling a few things in a small suitcase including a Bear. Puts on her wellies, a coat over her nightie and a hat on.

I wanted for us, her & me, to fly away, fly away to somewhere safe to indigo skies, therein to curl up.

very out of order indeed

Seemed to have missed out our birthday last May. Here I am by a stream with a furry friend. We had a lovely picnic.

away

It seems after having decided no big aways, no air travel etc that I am going.

Going that is to sunnier climes via Cardiff.

Will report back. hope the body/face hold out.

a bit out of order

been sorting out the photographs and find these. A little house sitting near the coast last NOVEMBER! A host of animal: chickens, dogs, cats, guinea pig, tortoise. And there was a brand new camera about...

really travelling isn't my thing these days a little on the fragile side. But did find myself stuffed in a plastic bag and lugged around on the bus this week. Not entirely dignified, but needs must.

Christmas

A Very Rare Thing: Christmas away from home. I found myself spending Christmas with my new friend in Dorset - with whom I had spent so much time with in the autumn. Oh yes she was there too, not gadding off to warmer climes like last time. It was delightful. The weather was bright and frosty. And we were not forgotten by Father Christmas.

travelling independently!

Two weeks after my arrival in Dorset, I find myself travelling with my new friend, to yet another familiar place from the far distant past - in fact the first place I ever holidayed when not even six months old!

Cornwall, right down at the far end just north of Penzance. Fine views and lovely flowers.

after having been down there very peacefully for a week, she turns up; after three weeks. The small friends appear to have been on travels through France and Spain with her.
