Again my role as a JP enabled me to participate in the Bristol Remembrance ceremony.
Despite a poor forecast, the rain held off and the sun came out. It seems that this is the 30th year that the weather has been kind to the ceremony. That very same evening we treated ourselves to a meal out to celebrate our 40th (Ruby) wedding anniversary.
We then spent just ten days in Cyprus for our autumn visit. Again the weather was kind to us. Although I needed to spend much of our time working on the house, we did manage to see our friends, to eat out every evening and had an enjoyable trip north to Latchi; a fishing village in the north west of the island. Lunch in a water-side restaurant and then a walk around the harbour in the warm autumn sunshine was just perfect.
Another very enjoyable lunch was had at oiur favourite beach restaurant at Avdimou. For me, and as if to prove my good health, this always involves a bracing walk of over 3 miles from our home to a waiting glass of shandy!
And, of course, I attended my consultant's appointment this week. My results remain most satisfactory.
Happy is the man who finds a true friend
and far happier is he that finds his true friend in his wife.
