Retired Not Out, Paul Chappell's Journal

Diary Posts

These posts are about a day in my life. A day on holiday; a day trip away from home, or even days at home when something exciting or unusual happened (where won’t be many of these).

They are mainly for me, so that in the future I can look back to see what I was doing in the past.

Returning to Marsden

Today my sister returned from her holiday, so I’m going back home to Marsden.
