A visit from Helena today!


This is Mum on the beach with her rainbow hat on!
We welcomed Helena who had the day off from work and arrived here at 08.45! She spent the day with us, we visited the Heritage Centre in Rustington and.. she even went for a swim!

What a lovely surprise. She was back home at 5.45 pm.

A postcard arrived from the daughter of an old colleague, she asked me to call him on the phone. He is Herbert Whitby and we spoke for a while. He will be 103 in September. He lives in Saltdean, Cornwall. I know him from Rutherford lab where he mastered an excellent rf system for the Nimrod injector! What memories of the past come flooding back.
