A Special Birthday!

As it was Heidi's Birthday yesterday, we are all having a bit of a party here at Sellwood Gardens

We would all like to wish Heidi a very happy birthday, and thank her and Marlene for providing us with a few refreshments.

A Wonderful Day Out

Our friend Ifor has a canal boat. This week he was moored along side the Pyewipe at Lincoln. So nearly all the club members decided to pay him a visit. On Wednesday we all travelled by car with drivers, Syd Jimmy, Bren and Joyce 1. Somehow Joyce managed to get lost by missing the turning to the pub. This is easily done as the sign is situated only on one side of the road.

On arrival we all sat outside in the wonderful sunshine chatting with Ifor, and having a drink. We then decided to have our meal first, and then Ifor was going to take anyone who wanted, for a ride on the boat up to Saxilby. Fourteen of us were seated together, and most decided to have gammon, a couple had steak and one had chicken. Then we had to decide whether we should have a sweet. A few had ice cream and one had chocolate brownie with ice cream and chantilly cream, see photo.

Once we were fed, we then went over to Ifor's boat, the Abigail Jenna, to see who wanted to go. As I am disabled I decided to find out whether I could get onto the boat. To my amazement I could. I was joined by Heidi, Joyce 2 June and Tony. Once we set off Heidi made us a cup of tea. Tony was at the helm and the ladies sat at the bow having a natter. The journey lasted one and a half hours and was very enjoyable. Unfortunately we didn't see the wildlife that Ifor has seen on his journey's. Jimmy and Syd were waiting for us at the other end, Saxilby. When we got back on land and had a few more words, we then said our goodbyes to Ifor and set off for home.

At our meeting today, we have been looking at the photo's that Tony had taken, and a few comments were made about our meal at the Pyewype. But everyone decided that we had a wonderful day out for our special occasion, with grateful thanks to Ifor, for everything he has done for the club, the trip on the boat, with possibly more to come and more importantly his friendship that he has for us all. Thankyou Ifor.

We had a great discussion about our outing on wednesday all getting excited had a great sort out who was going with the car they are best able to get into as we are having a meal in Lincoln it will look like a wagon trail out of Horncastle, so everybody better look out and make room for us.
Sid has gone on the Emailing systom and is very disapointed nobody writes to him

An Addition

I started to add a message, but for some reason I lost it, so now I am trying again.

Last week our grandaughter, Shar'le came to stay with us. Jimmy and I at first were rather apprehensive, as we had never had her to stay before. Shar'le is a typical 8 year old and enjoys most things. We thought she would be a chatterbox and talk us to death, but she didn't. The one thing she enjoyed most, was collecting seashells from Mablethorpe beach, and that dosen't cost anything. We tried to keep her ammused all week. We did succeed, and the words "I'm bored" were heard only once. So I think she could possibly be coming again. Ann.

New EDITOR Marlene

I have not used my car for a few months so I was a bit worrid about the MOT but it passed with flying colours so YIPEE.

We as always had a good meeting we did'nt have Tony guess he had family commitment Ann helpt Ted our new commer to set up a googlemail she was a bit bother if she was able to do it and
did very well. We also had Ann& Jimmys Grandaughter come, she showed us a few thing we did'nt have a clue about but that only shows you the things the young once are able to do on the computer I don't think "I" will ever get to their stage still we do enjoy what we can do so far.
I wish that learning direct would come up with some programs for the over 60th 70th and 80th
that have no need going through programs that needs to have a learning program that at the end of it to applay for a job, yes we all like to learn how to get to email and a lot of our members like to compete against one another this I think is a good stimulation at our age, the good thing all round is we all enjoy it.
