We've never done this before, so one reason for only going up the coast. I'd never think of travelling away without a good reason. We went to Australia but didn't fly until after Christmas. That is most we have done and that was because Mark sister sounded so homesick the year before when she called and without thinking he promised we would visit.
My parents are both both feeling low at the moment, both their health has been heavily tested this year, my mum's Parkinson's had rapidly degenerated and my dad's hearing is so poor now it has been suggested a titanium post be placed into his skull. Unfortunately he also suffers with so many skin conditions he may never be able to have it done for fear of an infection. Dad has only just started talking about out daughter too, which is a good thing, they were virtually inseperable, even when her boyfriend came on the scene.
Maybe we should be here for the good memories but The Purbecks have a special meaning to us and that's where my parents want to be.
It's Christmas Present!
