I hadn't even told my parents that I'd got married...or even been to the Phils. - Just knocked on their door and introduced her . lol They thought she was great....and were to become loving Grandparents to our son and my stepchildren.
i havent told my dear old dad yet. hes 94--in a local care home--and very frail now. i am still hoping theres time for him to meet her. she wants to look after him--but i think its too late now.
its similar with my parents, I think they know its more than likely there last holiday out of the UK , as dad is not to good health wise, I think they are just as keen as me to meet my gf lol, and of course they are worried for there no.1 son ha ha
I'd like to hear an elderly persons perspective of the Philippines, I wonder what moans and what likes they would have of the place, I can guess some.
I think mums worried as she been on google and typed Philippines and came across the bad things, but like I said to her its the same for all countries theres good and bad parts, we live in north Norfolk so its quiet around here crimes are pretty low, but if you went to other parts of uk its different
Yes, big difference between Norfolk and the Philippines, that's the beauty of travel, to see how the other half live so to speak. I have worked at Bacton in Norfolk many times and its certainly a beautiful and peaceful place, and of course you are proud to have the UKs most famous mariner to have been born there. If I took my mum (89 yrs. old) to the Philippines it would have to be five star all round and she would still be moaning like hell I'm sure of that, no not a chance of it, it will have to be Paignton again for aged parent
A lovely place for sure, only let down is that its a bit of a pain to get there from up north, another thing that adds beauty to it I suppose. I stopped at a hotel in Mundesley, the Royal Hotel for a long while and it was a great location for country pubs with great country food and country walks.
Most definitely, that would be aged parents first but not last gripe. Better keeping the Philippines to us young lads
talking of elderly that's where my great grandma ended up in a home there, but she died in 2011 at the grand old age of 100
There are certainly worst places to spend your last days, great for a lovely walk down the beach in that area, lots of holiday parks and home, very popular with tourist.
I went there many times and it was very nice but the Philippines took on a whole new meaning when I met my wife over there!
Well my dear old mum isn't even 88 til next month, but she seemed very pleased at adding to her grandchildren tally in a couple of months...despite me being an OAP next year. lol
