It certainly has lifted her spirits.<br /><br />Virginia, Time to wash away the caramelized white chocolate with some Fiji water. I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it. <br /><br />Nadege, My mother could really do with some exercise. Although she's still a busy bee and I'm sometimes surprised, not to say appalled, by the things she's still doing at her age, she needs to get out more ... even for a short walk.<br /><br />Diane, I hope so too. If possible, I don't want to miss this opportunity to meet Leon and Sue, and it would certainly be nice to see you and Nigel again.ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-49696227101847600552014-01-04T14:25:55.266+01:002014-01-04T14:25:55.266+01:00Ageing parents always have to come first when plan...Ageing parents always have to come first when planning holidays. We have Nigel's 92 year old dad in the UK and you never know what may happen next.
