Saturday 1st October 2011
Today was our regular visit to
Nan in Milton Keynes. It was October, but it was still hot and sunny. We joined
the motorway to find ourselves in a procession of dozens of bikers. They were
on their way to Donnington. I have to say that they were behaving very
responsibly, driving at steady speed, keeping out of the fast lane to allow
motorists, like ourselves the opportunity to make good progress. Further down
on the north bound side it was not such pleasant story. There was a group of
bikers, police cars and an ambulance. Perhaps it was just an unfortunate rather
than a silly accident.
We arrived at High Clere in good
time. Although she is physically frail she still has a sharp mind and was able
to play a good game of ‘Scrabble’. She is still very occupied with her
knitting. She is quite sad that she cannot see colours anymore and has had to
get rid of her painting materials. We left her relatively cheerful. She really
does appreciate the company of her family. I am proud to be in that grouping.
We made two stops on the way
home. The first was at RBS in Long Eaton. It is becoming a better time to call
in. This week it was for a small bag of fine grey ballast and some fencing.
After this we called in to St Michaels
parish church, Bramcote. It is their 150th anniversary and they had
put on a flower show. They should be congratulated on this. It was colourful,
dramatic and very creative.
Immediately after tea we had the
unexpected pleasure of a visit from Jan and Lawrence.
