Its been such a long time since any post of note has appeared, I need to recap some, if not all, of the important happenings in the life of tpm and the much loved Mrs. tpm. We have continued to travel to Europe, enjoying the sunshine of Caleta de Fuste in the winter months and Vilamoura, Portugal in the spring/summer. Mrs. tpm has been across the 'pond' as usual each summer whilst tpm has continued 'tablet tramping' around the North West of UK to include parts of Wales.

I am delighted to reveal however, that I have just 6 months or in essence 176 days, remaining on my working life as I will very soon become 'a man of a certain age' at which point 'early rising of the get out of bed variety' will most definitely cease and desist! It would have been a matter of days had the clowns that run this country  not extended my working life by statute.

Tpm's intentions after the 176 days, are many and varied and include an extended stay in the sunshine and warmth of Vilamoura and an escape to similar bolt holes over the coming months and years.


Ho humm....so glad I'm a teapot!....xx
