Darren took me to the station this morning in good time for me to catch the 8.50 train to York. Had room for my case on both trains and found my reserved seats easily. The train from York to Peterborough left a bit late, but that was not a problem, I just let Mike know I would be a bit later when he met me. We had lunch together after a cup of tea at his flat, I hadn't seen the decorated hall before and it is looking good. He dropped me at The Spinney where a spent three and a half hours catching up with Ruby and Emmie who are both 95 years young now. Ruby broke her hip a few months ago and is still pretty much tied to her flat. The view isn't so bad and she has a chair near the window to watch the world go by.
They both enjoyed looking through my holiday scrap book. Mike collected me and we watched It Take Two together here at the hotel before he went home. I have been over to the shop and will soon be in the bath! I got the crochet pattern for a cardigan yesterday, got the wool as I believe I told you yesterday and have made a start. May do a bit this weekend, but it is a big project as I have never actually tried to follow a pattern and make a garment, so we will have to see how I progress!

  1. Lunch was very nice, I always enjoy the food there. I'll just have to walk a bit extra over the weekend. About three extra miles should do it!

    The cardy should look good. The wool was really nice. You'll be way too busy this weekend to get much of it done though.
