A lot has happened since I last blogged! A strenuous (for me!) 3-hour walk up Cheviot ended with a 15 minute ride down in an RAF air-sea rescue helicopter after I tripped and gashed my face on stone. No bones broken - just needed to be glued together. Could have been a lot worse. The crew was marvellous and I am extremely thankful to them and my friends who looked after me until the helicopter arrived.
This was followed by travelling down to Suffolk for my nephew's wedding where a good time was had by all! These shots were taken "down south"!
That sounds like the sort of excitement you can do without. Hope all is well now
ReplyDeleteWonderful composure of photos and of you my friend.
ReplyDeleteWe are off to Suffolk end of September to Auldbourgh for a week.
Glad to hear that you survived, it could have been so nasty. Lovely photos
ReplyDeleteHope you're continuing to mend Julia. The photos are beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteOooh Julia - poor you! That could have been very serious indeed, so I'm really glad you were OK. The air-sea rescue is marvellous, like our local air ambulance which does great work - it's a charity my hubby and I support. Hope your new Frankinstein look with the stitches on your face didn't scare the wedding guests!! Our nephew is getting married too, this month, and my hubby's off to Estonia for that - unfortunately I'm not well enough for such a trip but looking forward to photos etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful your bones are intact and pray you will heal quickly and well.
ReplyDeletePoor you - not the welcome kind of drama really. Glad you're on the mend and that you enjoyed visiting my Suffolk!
ReplyDelete...........and you didnt take any shots whilst in the air?....!
ReplyDeleteIm ex RAF Aircrew and used to volunteer to be rescued by the air sea rescues at the drop of a hat lol In Yorkshire here and also in Cyprus but thankfully I was always fit and well, so imagine your flight was a touch scary!
Glad your on the mend - but next time, get that camera out!
Oh, how exciting, I mean terrifying for you!!!your poor face & i imagine it was a bit of a shake up. (I can't believe you missed the photo op, too!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I've just read your blog. I'm so sorry you fell and hurt yourself. And airlifted off the hillside to hospital. I've often wondered what that would be like! I'm glad you mended ok - and you got a ride in a helicopter too! But a nasty shake-up too I shouldn't wonder.
ReplyDeleteYour opening sentence is a bit of an understatement in my books - a lot happening round here is going to the supermarket twice in one week! Very pleased to hear that you are fine - you must have ben a popular guest at the wedding with an adventure like that to tell.
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia, sorry I haven't been in touch since you posted on your accident. I hope you are feeling better now and have no lasting scars. My brother lives in Suffolk, that was a nice break for you after the accident.
ReplyDeleteTake care, love Jackie in Surrey, UK.x
Hi Julia - me again! Hope your face is now healing nicely. Just wanted to say - pop over to my blog and look at my latest post - there are some photos on there you've GOT to see. I thought of you while I took them! (I'm sure you can guess what they are of!!) ROFL.
ReplyDeleteOh my Julia, so sorry for your accident! Glad it wasn't any worse, though I think your post may be understating the scare of it all! Glad to hear you are mending and no bones broken. Take care!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! Ouch! Glad you are on the mend...the photos are beautiful...I hope they are a good memory of a not so great ending?
