My brother P and I went to Cambridge to see grand daughter G and also to collect her accumulated possessions for the last year in College. These included large boxes of heavy law books as well as kettles, a collander, saucepans, fairy lights, in fact everything but the proverbial kitchen sink. B.Wiggins and I barely fitted into my microscopic Micra on the way home on the dreaded M.25. Actually, the motorway was no problem, it was the ring road round Cambridge that defeated us. There are NO road signs so we drove round and round in increasing desperation and then went off in the wrong direction! But it was a lovely outing and I enjoyed my time away with brother P.
It was the London to Brighton bike race at the weekend and Ditchling came to a standstill with all roads closed to everything but bikes whizzing through Poignant for me as I have finally decided that my biking days are over. I feel too wobbly, so will sell my lovely Minty, after a lifetime of riding everywhere from the streets of London, to the Winchester water meadows and epic rides in Cumbria and Yorkshire. .The hills round here are too much for me and besides I now have to go walkies with B. Wiggins and I don`t think he would take kindly to riding in the basket.
I am off to Cornwall on Sunday for a week with friend B and her dog Charlie. As for moving, who knows? I had an interview yesterday with a stern faced solicitor and I signed things but still no date yet. Son C is helping me through all this. .I don`t know what I would do without him.
Off to the Infants today. I am trying to compile a little book of `poems` from the children. Most popular subjects: My Cat, My Bike, Football and Spaghetti.
