Woke around 0930. Got up and descended for cereal at the dining table…the rest of the family slowly emerged one-by-one. Jim and Emma had spent the night in the van on the drive. I made chowder for lunch. Dad still feeling sick, so didn’t eat much. I drove Aki and Kath over to Chopwell Wood…near Rowlands Gill. Hooked up with Helen, Martin, and their daughter Emily for a long walk along the woodland trails…a lot of cars in the car park, but the trail was quite quiet. Got back to the car as the sun was setting. Said our goodbyes and drove back to Darras. Made a turkey curry with one of the cook in sauces we’d given dad for Xmas. It was a bit spicey! Fried Xmas pud for afters. Sat in front of the telly for the evening…had to listen to a lot of Lesley Garrett! Enjoyed Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson in The Great Escaper…formulaic and sentimental though it was…Glenda was especially good in what must have been her final performance!
