I've been down in London, visiting Daughter 2 and Littlest Granddaughter. One day we went to a play centre in Stratford (not Shakespeare's Stratford - the place in east London where (some of?) the Olympics took place).
After having fun inside, we went into the outdoor play area. We had it to ourselves because it was really quite wet.
On the way home, we passed what I think are flats. I am
so glad that I don't live there. So unbeautiful, so high, so lacking in garden.
Another day we went to the library. Libraries were never supplied with cafes in my youth (or even now, here, as far as I know).
And we played with Elsa. Or it might have been Ana.
And Daughter 2 took me to see what we hope is going to be their new house - the cumbersome English house-buying process permitting. It's nice - much more roomy than their current two-bedroom flat. Fingers crossed. Littlest decided which bedroom she'd like - the biggest one. Hmm...
And then I came home. It took me 9 hours from their flat to our house. The first train broke down and we had to go backwards to the previous station. Then later in the journey there was a delay with the second one because of "an incident on the platform" involving a lady who had fallen "so obviously we can't leave till the ambulance has come". Slightly mysterious. I hope she was all right.
I took this picture once we'd got back into Scotland. It's always a great feeling. But I miss them very much.
That's a great looking house--fingers crossed! It sounds like a wonderful visit in spite of the weather and the lengthy trip. I hope the lady is OK.
ReplyDeleteSo glad and wonderful to visit your children and grands. I'm off across the U.S. next week to see my daughter. It's been a long 15 months.
ReplyDeleteShe's Rapunzel - but you are close enough. Love you. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Yay! You were able to visit DD2 and littlest! The potential new house looks wonderful -- I sure hope they are able to get it. Here comment about Rapunzel is pretty funny -- I'm siding with you, even though we're not correct LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you got to London though. And also that you got back, eventually. To get to my friend at half-term, because of all the storms, I had to fly to Aberdeen and then take two trains right back across the country I'd just flown over. Twelve hours door to door. But these things, these people, are always worth it x
