Navigating Loss While Looking Forward To Travel

It has been a couple of weeks since I last put together a blog post. I thought it would be best to allow things to settle in my mind. The past few weeks have been testing to say the least.

First off, I attended the funeral of my Auntie Pat. She had passed away in August, a few days short of her 89th Birthday. It was a long day, the service was held in Portland, Dorset. It was a lovely service full of happy memories. I have been thinking about my service. Hopefully, it will be a long way off but it is good to plan ahead. I also went to a house warming held by my nephew Jamie and his partner Lucy at their new house in Lichfield. Another good time spent with the family.

As for my health I have a couple of follow up appointments after my visit to A&E. This coming Monday I am have a ECG fitted so I can be monitored for 24 hours. After my holiday I will be having a heart scan. One way or another I will know if there are any on-going problems to be aware of.

My thoughts are pretty much focusing on my upcoming holiday to Türkiye. If I ever needed a holiday it is now. Two weeks of relaxation doing nothing. I am also thinking about travel for 2026. I am currently reading the Rough Guide to Albania with a visit to Tirana possibly in March looking the likely venue. I just want to get the next week at work over as quick as possible.

Until the next post.
