Milton Keynes

Saturday 15^th October

We made our usual visit to Nan in High Clere. She seemed more settled after her last fall and was able to play a good game of Scrabble.

After this we were able to spend some time with Tim, Isla and the girls. We had a bit of spare time between visits which was enough to be able to walk around Loughton lakes in the brilliant autumn sunshine.

Swan Family

We had our lunch with the family and had a walk around Shenley Wood with them. The girls found their ‘Fairy’ tree and had a climb up it; giving some concern to the grown-ups. Iona is very agile and was under instructions to go so far, but no further.

That's Far Enough

The path through the woods was littered with acorns and many berries adorned the bushes.

Sloe Berries

We said our goodbyes and toddled off for our usual Saturday evening.

Before this I rang my friend Lawrence to confirm arrangements for our visit to the model railway exhibition in Wirksworth. Unfortunately, due to getting in and out of cars (this is a favourite activity which they do in a local showroom); his painful back had flared up.
