From last week at Pagham

Pads has been on good form the last couple of days. It's looking hopeful he'll make it for the start of term on Wednesday. He had a spell with the play therapist today and she was delighted with 'the real Pads', having only met up before when he was distinctly sub-optimum. Having said that, today and yesterday he suddenly felt sick for no apparent reason... just to keep us on our toes!
Here are some photos from last week:

Excellent holiday in Pagham

We're back from Pagham. This was a CLIC-Sargent caravan - thus free! The site wireless network was very patchy, which accounts for the lack of recent updates.
Pads' blood transfusion the week before made it possible to do quite a lot. The main reason for selecting that region was to easily link up with Grandad and his Nicholson 32 Holly, which he keeps in Birdham.
Saturday: settled in and popped over to meet up with Holly
Sunday: We all greatly appreciated the morning service at Providence Chapel but Pads was rested for the evening.
Monday: Spent the whole day aboard Holly - small boys and Ally spent the night aboard.
Tuesday: Pads, Moli and I met up with Holly and the others at Ichenor to give the boys a chance to steer but the wind was too strong to allow a prolonged trip.
Wednesday: Off for a blood test to Portsmouth. Pads willing for a thumb prick to get the red stuff out! Then to the historic dockyard to see HMS Victory - wore Pads out a bit!
Thursday: Enjoyed site amenities - including pool and crazy golf. We all did the latter, dodging blustery showers! Out to Nando's (restaurant) in the evening.
Friday: Another visit to Portsmouth to get a blood test done. Then off to the Isle of Wight to meet up with the donkey that Catherine had adopted for Pads for his 11th birthday.
Saturday: Visiting Uncle David and Auntie Susan. Home safe and sound by 6:40pm
Photos to come - but first - bed!
