1) We renewed our family railcard earlier in the week when we decided at the last minute to travel to Edinburgh airport by train rather than drive. The family railcard took the price of the rail travel down from £220 to £120 so it was definitely a worthwhile purchase, especially considering we need to travel by rail to Gatwick in October.We love travelling by train as it's so much more relaxing than driving and we have much more space - and we don't have to stop every half an hour when one of us needs a wee!2) I had a lovely wander around the charity shops last weekend and I … [Read more...]

Dear Tesco….
To the very lovely people at our local branch of Tesco,I want to thank you for the kindness and compassion that you have showed my Dad over the last six months or so because you really have made a huge difference in his life and I want you to know about it.At the age of 77, my Dad's found himself alone (apart from me) in a world filled with technology that he really just can't get his head around. He's grumpy, stubborn, and thinks he always knows best but he's my Dad and I love him more than I could tell you. He's also getting to the age where things confuse him very easily so when … [Read more...]
