He is the big news story, but more a little later... 4 February saw a trek to Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire - a very cold but enjoyable day <more details here> 11 February 18:36, Theo Charles Ratcliffe was born. I met my first grandchild the following day <more here> He is the first child on my side of the family since 1988. Welcome to the world, Theo - you are the future !! 12 February - a trip to town to celebrate my Mum's 85th Birthday. <more here> 14 February - Valentine's Day. I made a very nice (if I do say so myself) dinner for Jenny and myself. A lovely evening. 15 February - I was very sad to see the news of the Florida shootings. I struggle with these things <Blog Here> 18 February - Time for a lovely (well, dry) early spring stroll around the RHS garden at Wisley with loved ones. The Butterflies In The Glasshouse exhibit was pretty good, and the rest of the gardens were beginning to wake up after their Winter rest. <More here> 24 February - Jenny and I were all set for a weekend stay at Hayling Island down near Portsmouth. This was knocked into touch when Jenny was sicker than I have ever known her and was bed-ridden for 2 and a half days, and was just not up to it. A little TLC seems to have done the trick, although she is still suffering with "standard" cold symptoms. February ended with a bit of a cold blast, which looks like it will continue until at least 2nd March. I know that temperatures of -5 C are nothing in the regime of things (in Missouri my brother's office was closed as the temperatures were down to -15 C or so), but this Surrey in the South East of England. I have mentioned little of my beloved Arsenal for some time. The reason for this, my friends is simply that there is little to say. The "On This Day" feature of Facebook is a sad reminder to me that for at least the last 6 years, I have generally been making the same comments. And a tweet from @gunnerblog also confirms my feelings Something needs to change at the Emirates to sort the Gunners out. At this point, however I know not what, but sadly I feel that it needs to start with our manager. So that is pretty much it for this session, but as always there is much on the horizon. School Pal Reunions for 60th Birthdays in Brighton, a break in the Isle of Wight and Bell Ringing to mark the end of treatment for cancer all loom large. Until next time, take care and be safe. Pip... pip!!
