I am sorry that I have not updated my Blog for a few days. That was because I had been away to visit my daughter in Ascot. I went down on teh train on Friday ( train delayed) but eventually got there in excess of one hour delay so ( Delay-Repay Bingo!!) Dennis was there to meet me of course. On Saturday off to ROyal Ascot! Had a great day and managed to find a Second and one Winner! Beautiful horses, top-class jockeys, everyone dressed up, Fabulous! After the racing, we enjoyed a lovely meal at The Forresters. On Sunday I enjoyed a bit of a lie-in, then my son, granddaughter, and grandson came over from Bristol so we all had a very early Christmas Dinner together. Lovely! . On Monday up nice and early and visited my other granddaughter Amber at her house where I met Hasper the cat! , a pot of lunch then across to Euston again for the journey home. Everything was spot on time and I got home for just after 8.. A really lovely few days. WHhat a rich man I am!

Another rainy and overcast morning in Ulverston! And the rain is likely to persist for much of the day. Pity but there is to be a significant improvement in the weather after that.
I have noticed "action" on Harrison's garage on Stanley Street. The windows have been blacked out and workmen are there and all looks very busy. There are rumours as to what it will become/ It was, of course, a Garage for many years and then a carpet shop but has been closed for a year or two now. It will be good to see it back into use.

A change in the weather this morning. A spot of rain and more to come this afternoon and much of tomorrow according to the Met boys.
I saw part of the Young Musician of the Year on TV. It was presented so expertly by our very own Jess Gillam. Her family must be so proud of her. A wonderful credit to them, and to Ulverston.
The conflict between Israel and Gaza is worsening each day: With yet more air strikes innocent people are being killed and properties being destroyed. Whenever will it stop? What can be the solution to this dreadful state of affairs?
An old friend, who I had not seen for what seemed to be ages, called into the office. He is doing quite well but suffering a bit of memory loss. He certainly looks well enough though.
