It had been a very pleasant day and the weather has been almost spring like. Met up with Mike and we had breakfast and then spent a few hours visiting practically all the shops near Morrisons having a couple of drink breaks. Then we went across to the bus stop so that I could make my way to Orton to see my sister and Mike walked home. Got off a Herlington and walked under the underpass to her house, different murals on there now with graffiti as well of course.
Had a really lovely time with Margherita, we caught up on all the news and had an enjoyable game of Scrabble scoring over 600 points in total. Anya collected me and brought me back to Rachel's, which was nice as I had cake holders and some shopping to carry.
I brought the elf that I painted at the studio for Rachel and the family, thinking they would have him on display at Christmas, but he is going to have a permanent home on the kitchen window ledge.
Ethan was in and made me a cup of tea when I got back here and Cookie kept me company!
Rachel and I will have a couple of hours on our own now, so a meal and plenty of talking I should think......
You definitely brought some lovely weather with you, as that's the best it's been for a while in this neck of the woods. It was lovely to see you and have a few hours eating, drinking and catching up in general. I hope the rest of your trip goes to plan and you get to see everyone, hopefully including Emmy if Michelle will pop you over there.
ReplyDeleteI should think both you and Marg miss the games of scrabble, as you used to play every week, and get some really high scores.
Enjoy your meal and a good natter with Rachel.
A good start all round to my pre operation trip!
