They were staying in a holiday cottage in a place called Trefriw. M was born in Bangor, and m’s brother in law had family living in North wales so they’d all gone up there on hols 🐶🐾😘

Can’t remember a woollen mill but it was a long time ago. M was born in Bangor, cos her Dad was stationed at RAF Valley on Anglesey. Apart from the water she luved it 🐶🐾😘

Probably iron in the water… Many years ago Male human’s ex-boss decided to use the on site well instead of paying the water company… trouble is the water was iron infused and all the sheets and shirts gradually went brown 🤣

I don’t live too far from Bath and the tap water is disgusting. Have to filter it to make tea or coffee and I buy bottled water for drinking.

I've only ever descaled an iron and after nearly killing us both with the fumes i've never bothered again! The water isnt magical here, we are under United Utilities afterall, but its not got a slimy film on it like when I lived in Wolves. That made your tongue feel all furry 🤢

Best not then Billy! 🙈 That's the unfunny one isnt it? 😒 My grandad had it and wouldnt do his injections properly so my gran was always having to force glucose tablets between his teeth when he collapsed in the street. Stubborn doesnt even begin to cover him! 😖

All types aren’t nice but T1 is an auto immune disorder. If grandad wasn’t having his insulin his blood sugar would be too high so last thing he’d need is glucose, It’s only if blood sugar goes low you need glucose, M prefers Jelly babies! Technology helps these days though 👍 🐶🐾😘

Defo, m was diagnosed in 1973 but her dad and dad’s sister also had it so at least they knew a bit about it. Must have been very difficult for your gran. Folk still don’t seem to understand it these days. Hang on M the maths doesn’t add up you said you were only 35!!! 🤣🤣🐶🐾😘
