It is high Summer in England and we have had wall-to-wall sunshine and warmth.
Every day is a beautiful one.

Dad
And then there is Dad, who was rushed into hospital with heart issues.
Ambulance with blue lights and sirens and all that, with Mum in the front (in
crash position).
Thankfully he is looking so much better and is having a pace maker
fitted.
His spirit is up which is all about the fighter pilot in him (he is 92
this year and flew Liberators and Lancasters in the WW2.)
He did say to Mum that apparently the operation would mean that he
shouldn't wash up!
Good old Dad. Ever the survivor.
And here am I, home again after visiting Dad, responding to my commitments as 'chief dual tummy tickler'.
And loving it!
Take care everyone X
It's lovely to see a post, though we're sorry about dad. Tough old fellow! We wish him a successful surgery and speedier-than-expected recovery.
