Home and early post

Travelled home today. Darren popped in to see Margherita briefly before we set off for home, I got told off for telling the staff that she will be ninety next month! But she scolded me with a smile on her face while telling me she will ever talk to me again!

I will put some non people pictures from yesterday now.

Two pics from last night when Darren and Anya met up with the family for a meal.

Darren and ai stopped at Hemswell Antique Centre on the way home. Three large buildings with all sorts. I got the bargain of the day, only spending a pound!

Hot and tired now, but it has been a lovely trip.

Back to the pottery studio tomorrow.

Burghley and Stamford

As the heading suggests we were out and about with the family today.I took pics of the moon I the night as I couldn’t sleep and lots of photos today. I will post people ones today and maybe add some plants and sculptures tomorrow! Hot and bothered so will try to get the photos posted nd leave it at that for today.

Rushden Lakes and Cuckoo Inn

A lovely day catching up with the family over from America. It is getting late and will let the photos do the talking. The first one out of the bedroom window promising good weather, then a few from Rushden Lakes and the final one a group shot after out meal.

A lovely day

Not a great night, but I did take those pics in the early hours!

Skip dropped me off in town and I had a bit of a wander before meeting Rose for lunch. I walked to the end of Cowgate as I had noticed  fantastic wall painting on the drive into the city,

In Queensgate there wa probably the smallest carousel in the world!

Some more will art in Queensgate near the bus station.

Had a very enjoyable lunch with Rose! Lots of catching up and quite a lot of laughter, then she went off to meet a friend and I walked up to the care home to visit Margherita. We had a lovely afternoon and found plenty to chat about. She was in good spirits and seems very happy. I then walked back to the bus station, so plenty of steps today! I took a photo of this sign on the way as I do like clever names and signs.

I had a cuppa when I got off the bus before dong the last walk back to Rachel’s. I had changed bags before I went out and didn’t take my keys. The family were all at poppi’s birthday party so I couldn’t get in. Sat on the recycling bin (the small one!) and rI Ed for about forty minutes before they got home!

Have been in the hot tub this evening so quite hot nd bothered now!

Skip sent me this picture of some more great graffiti and a couple of pics from the birthday party.

Seeing the American branch of the family tomorrow.
