We've just heard today from our dear friend in North Wales. He has been taken off his chemotherapy treatments, and tells us he might not be there when we come over.
What a blow. This is a lovely man, who showed us so many wonderful sights when we were there in 2007.
Naturally we will still call in and see the family, no matter what happens, but it will be hard, as even tho we are so far away, we've kept in touch regularly, and followed his trials and pitfalls.
It's not like we haven't dealt with this sort of thing before, but it never gets any easier...

Cameras and photos and clothes and stuff...
Lee and I both have cameras, and perhaps we don't need to take both, but you invariably end up with either of us catching something the other missed. And, because of the diversity of the places we will be visiting, there will be much to photograph. I hope to be able to master inserting them into these "posts", so that anyone following our travels will get an idea of where we are and what we're doing.
(The photo I have inserted here is from another trip, but practice for me. It is Scotney Castle in Kent)
My camera is very light. I did have a Digital SLR, but found it too heavy, and too complicated, so I have 'downgraded/downsized' to just a digital camera, and am quite happy with that. Trouble is, like I've said before, you still have to take the chargers, etc, and that's space and weight.
Also got ourselves a money pouch thingy to go under our shirts, just for a bit more security. We both already have special shoulder bags (Pacsafe), which are reinforced with steel wire throughout the bag, so that they cannot be taken from you by cutting the strap.
