I set off early on Monday morning (after checking that Twiglet had poo'd) to travel up to the Ambulance HQ or at least a hotel very near to it for the first day of my 5 day course, the course is being run in two separate locations, Monday Tuesday and Thursday we are at the hotel, and Wednesday and Friday we are at HQ.
When the first day had finished I went back to stay with some friends who live in a village much closer to HQ than me, they have let me stay for the week as it saves me time and mileage each day, to be honest it was nice catching up again, as we have drifted in and out of touch with each other in recent years, their middle child is my Godson, although all three of their children have flown the nest now.
The first night we all went out for dinner as my friends mother had been cat sitting for them the previous week end and they wanted to take her out as a thank you.
The view from my bedroom window reminded me of Scotland with the low cloud on the hills.
The nearest neighbours are across the fields and it is lovely and peaceful, and no light pollution at night.
The course was well, the last day had the best content and if it had been down to us we could have made it a two day course and that would have covered all the points we really needed!!
I was sorry to be leaving on the Friday in one way, as it had been nice catching up with my friends and staying in their lovely house, but I was glad to be coming home to see my Husband and the kids, including my Granddaughter Flower who is staying the night.
