This is an update on the end of last year - sadly, I have written nothing for almost a year. Life has just been too full of event. On holiday last year, I twisted my knee and it continued to give me trouble, so walking became difficult. At the same time, I began to experience more back problems as well, so I became a very familiar face to the physiotherapist.
At the end of November, my eldest son and his wife moved down to Hurst Green very near to us, and our next task was to complete the move of all of their possessions, then renovate the house and garden to get it ready for sale.
In early December, we all went to Centre Parcs for a long weekend. My younger grandson just adored the swimming pool area, so it was hard to get him out of it, even to see Father Christmas and his reindeer
In December, I had a small procedure on my knee which involved draining the fluid and injecting a steroid. My knee became much better, but my back and hip became more problematic.
Everybody came to my house for Christmas, so it was a very busy time. The railway builders were very active for about 9 days.
We had to be very careful when walking about!
In January, Paul went skiing without me - I had no wish to put more stress on the poor knee.
In late January, I visited a friend in Cambridge.
This is a view of Corpus Christi College.
I also took some views along the river.
We need to visit again when the weather is better and take a punt along the Cam.
Below is a view of the Round Church, more properly known as The Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It is one of the four medieval round churches still in use in England.
The church was built around 1130, its shape being inspired by the rotunda in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem. Originally it was a wayfarers' chapel on the Roman road known as Via Devana (this is now Bridge Street), but by the middle of the 13th century it had become a parish church. It has been somewhat modified over the centuries, and is now managed by English Heritage. It is a very interesting place to visit.
