My mother's father was also a carpenter like his relations were and her maiden name was Hughes too,     That would be a coincidence if they were related

Hollins,  am I missing something because Steve said that he cannot make up his mind?           i think that he should be deducted one point for that.        ;D

If you are on holiday there I hope that you're having a great time   $good$

Ha! Sorry Hugo. I was pretty sure Steve knew the answer so I was kind and gave him the benefit of the doubt!
My Christmas present from Mr H was an island hopping trip in Croatia. We started off in Dubrovnik and walked around the city walls there which were amazing. Then we took a ferry to Korcula for 2 nights, then Brac on Bol Island which was very beautiful. Last stop was Split which we weren't so keen on as it was very busy and the historical sites were very commercialised. Mr H did have me walking up the local hill though. Most of the stays were in apartments and the last one in Split was next door to the British Consulate with a great view.
Hope you are feeling better now. I was reading that you were having back trouble. Not good for your walking.

Hugo, you leave my points alone, Hollins knows what she is doing,  ;)    But I have been remiss, Hollins post reminded me, that you have had some problems, I do hope things are progressing and you are on the mend.

I did know that you knew the answer,   I don't know how, but you always seem to get them right.       I'm going to have to look for a hard question but I bet you'll get it right also      ;D


Thanks Steve  for asking,  I'm on the mend now but no walks planned for the future and definitely no more golf ever

It's good to see Hollins is enjoying her holidays and posting those lovely photos too.

Glad to hear things are looking up, sorry about the golf, I had to give up three years ago, quite a wrench, but I am sure you will keep busy.

Did you have the same problem with your back and hips Steve?     The physio told me that the injury had not just happened as it must have been coming on for a while'     Looking back on my games of golf, I would complain of pain in the back after each game and just put it down to all the bad shots I made.
It's a shame it happened as we had a few good walks lined up but they will have to wait for a while

Great joke, sums things up perfectly, frustratingly I have good mobility, but no puff, so no long walks for me. :(
