A long walk in the fresh air, making the effort to actually do it is the hard part, I can always think of something else I would rather be doing

It's a beautiful day here, warm, sun shining, blue skies but instead of walking I'm sitting at my computer talking to you :-)

My Granddaughter claimed to have terrible travel sickness
We had to travel to Kent from Middlesbrough

So I gave her a sweetener
as we didn't have any travel sickness tablets
Telling her it was an extra strong Travel pill

This worked for her No sickness at all

My guess is her Travel sickness was all ion her head :-D :-D :-D

Anything that cannot be cured by a glass or two of Irish whiskey is incurable.

(An Irish proverb which I’m still trying to prove every weekend!) :-D

Well a few glasses of Rose seem to do,the trick

Mind you travelling to Canada was an experience we arrived two hours after we left the uk because of the time difference . We stayed up till 12am then and went to bed so no travel sickness

Coming back was a different experience . I couldn't sleep when we got home and felt worn out and tired at the wrong time of day

Took me a week to get over the travel sickness

My mother used to always have a stick of lavender cologne in her handbag. Whenever we kids had a headache she would rub this cologne on our temples and the headache was gone.

I guess you could say the headache was all in our heads but that would be logical.

Incidentally Mom was from Middlesbrough too.
