We have now enjoyed three days together. Or what I should say is that Dawn has enjoyed three days off work. Yesterday we had a ride into town and did some shopping before Paul went to see his doctor for the results of his blood tests. The good news is that his cholesterol wasn't a problem. However, he has high blood pressure still (160/100), and his liver function tests showed some problems. The doctor said the liver problem was called a "fatty liver". But if he loses some weight, cuts out the fats, and evercises, then that should be okay. As for the blood pressure, he needs to go back to get a 24 monitoring device fitted.
On Friday we went to Jollye's in Crews Hill to get litter and food for Tiny before having a ride up to Holloway to spend a couple of hours the Paul's dad and brother George. Paul's dad got out some old photos for us to look at. Then on the way back we stopped at Morrisons in Enfield to do some grocery shopping. Once that was out of the way Dawn took the plunge and jumped behind the steering wheel.
Yes, you read correctly. Dawn drove the car home to Hertford from Enfield. It was the first time she had driven a car in all the time she's been in England. And, that includes the two and half years she was here between 1996 and 1999. Paul will also be the first to say she did a great job, and didn't have one problem coping with the seven roundabouts and mini-roundabouts along the way.

About Us
- Dawn & Paul White
- 2012 looms and we hope that it will be a kind year. Over the last few years we have lost Dad, George and Tiny so our lives have been forever changed. However, we have some wonderful memories that we can cherish. And at the end of the day it's memories that we strive to create. The rest is incidental.
