I got a few more things into the tip before we set off for Hull. Tina had appointments today and she dropped me in the city centre as I had arranged to meet Anne for lunch. She had been one of my residents when I ran a support house in the nineties. I had a couple of hours before meeting her so had a drink and did a bit of shopping. We had lunch and a good catch up over lunch it the cafe at the Ferens Art Gallery. Her mum will be ninety five this year, they have careers morning and night but .Anne gets their lunch each day and generally helps out. We did look at a few exhibits before she walked bag to the bus station with me.
After a rest I went to collect my prescription at the chemist.
Tina is out for a meal this evening so I got dinner for Darren and myself and I will watch Traitors in a bit.
Back to front photos now, a shot through the window this morning and a winter clematis that we have had for years had decided to flower for the first time.
It was good you had a reasonable amount of time in Hull and your meet up went ok. Shame you had problems with your shoes. It’s really sad that it could be the last time you visit Hull as I know you’ve always loved the place. But you never know, you might get to travel over that bridge again sometime 😊 Not the nicest of weather either, looks quite wet.
ReplyDeleteVicars do get invited to a LOT of dinners. Reminds me of the episode of Vicar of Dibley when she had to go to about ten Christmas dinners in one day 😊 It’s a hard life, but someone has to do it 😂 I’m sure you and Darren enjoyed your dinner just as much.
Typical of the clematis to wait until now to flower, but at least you got to see it.
Enjoy Traitors. Can’t be many left now 🙁
I have always had a soft spot for Hull, years ago the city used to get a lot of bad press, quite unfairly but since it was City of Culture a few years ago it has gone from strength to strength and long May that continue. I am so pleased I managed to have lunch with Anne, she has kept in such and has many happy memories from her time in the house I managed. She did a piece of art work for me, I will try to remember to take a pic for the blog.
ReplyDeleteFeeling quite weary but will try to plan another box even if I don’t actually pack it tonight!
