I spoke to Peter "Humber-Traveller" on the phone yesterday and he didn't sound too good. That's not surprising, all things considered.
It was a pleasant surprise (No.1) to exchange another call with Peter today, during which AuntieSandra and I were invited to join Peter and Chris for lunch at a hostelry local to them.
We met at 12.15 at The Grosvenor, about a mile from their home and met surprise No.2... Peter, wearing a cheesy grin, was in the driving seat of Chris's new car!
The next surprise, No.3, was to see how the pair of them manipulated the wheelchair from the boot before Peter plonked himself in it and sped along the path towards the pub!
As we were in the throes of enjoying a very tasty meal and drink, I became aware of surprise No.4... Peter ate an entire plate of steak, chips, onions, plus seconds from Chris's plate! What an appetite! Sandra and I felt quite excited for Peter. What a change!
We eventually left the pub, bound for the Humber-Travellers' home and guess who was in the driving seat again? You're right, it was Peter!
Chris made us all a cup of tea and we helped remove some of the Maltesers and other fine chocolates that were taking up space on the coffee table!
It was soon time for Sandra and me to leave, to do some of our packing for Amboise. Peter and Chris showed their disappointment at not being able to join us, as previously planned. But the show of sadness was short-lived as the phone rang and a lady called Pat spoke to Peter. His face beamed, then he explained that he and Chris would be receiving some more visitors within the hour... the "Hippypair" - Pat and Terry.
Peter and Chris were so thrilled at the prospect of the Hippypair visiting. Thanks Pat and Terry for helping them both to continue a wonderful day of surprises.

Peter it is great to see you out at the pub and eating so well---good on you.
It was great to that last night you were on the Computer and reading the forum and making a comment to help someone I loved seeing that hand waving again.
Keep it waving
Love mavis
À tous mes amis du forum thankyou pour toutes vos pensées agréables et avec son amour derrière moi je lutterai contre mon conflit avec un esprit de postive et le triomphe
As Norman said it as good to get up, out, and meet up for our first pub lunch for three months, I cancelled chemotherapy this week so that I could hang on to a bit of strength to have a memorable weekend when friends and family were coming down.
It was good to see Norman and Sandra and Terry and Pat yesterday and other friends today, continuing tomorrow and over the weekend with other visitors.
Our new car you can just see outside the window of the pub, and although Chris is now the "driver" I thought that because of how good I felt yesterday that I would have drive the one and a half mile to the pub.
I am enjoying getting back into a routine, and although things are different this time around, I am accepting this and also enjoying posting back on the group when I can, and hope to continue as long as possible.
Keep well everybody, enjoy the summer sun whilst you can and "Carry on Camping!!"
You can't say things like that... "You notice, Peter, that Uncle Norm did not mention how much he ate at the pub eh"
I'll have you know that all I had was a small green salad and one and half crisps! I did not drink any alcohol but settled for a pint of tap water with a couple of chunks of ice.
Nah, to be honest, I had exactly the same as Peter, only my add-ons came from AuntieSandra's plate... chips, onions (fried, not boiled)...
It was a very nice meal, at a SizzlersPub. Peter subscribes to some newsletter/offer scheme and had printed out some vouchers...
Two steak meals, two drinks, from their list, all for £9.99!! You can't go wrong at those prices. Us oldies have to watch the pennies...
Have a look at this link, Pat: http://www.sizzlingpubs.co.uk/
Got to go... early night, final packing for route to Amboise in the morning.
Stay well.
PS Bloody hell Peter, what are you doing on here, waving hand and all!

Peter, It's great to see that hand waving again and you are up and about and looking so well.
(thanks for the pics UncleNorm). We met at Southport last year and you gave me some good tips on LED lighting which I have done.
Take care.
