Hi
i am sorry that my support has not gone out to anyone recently,but i have been very fortunate. A friend I met once very briefly invited me to have her house while she was away(thus avoiding me) I immediately accepted knowing she lived in atiny place high in the swiss alps,then of course i had all sorts of misgivings,why me what was the snag,too good to be true.Plus she is not the most communicative girl in the world ,no phone,no internet,and not many letters,written english not her strength.
But for all that it happened and there was no need for any of those doubts,it happened just as she said,her tiny fairly remote valais chalet wit incredible views soon as you opened your eyes,and walks stretching as far as you could manage.
Best of all as my strength increased I could walk further and when i got tired,being alone i could be entirely selfish and go to bed for an hour or three,eat when I was hungry and bed as early as I like,actually once it got dark and the log fire started to die,no telly either you see.
It was wonderful and my spirits were mightily lifted,walking around with a big smile all day.
Would'nt it be wonderful if somewhere someday in the far distant future there was a place somewhere peaceful a retreat for UKPIPS. Just alittle pipe dream but I do wish,maybe not for everyone though
