On Saturday, we walked with our friends in East Lothian - five miles, from Haddington to Longniddry. It was perfect weather: sunny, not a breath of wind.
It was an easy walk, along flattish paths.
And we ended, as usual, with a coffee and chat.
Yesterday we went up to visit Son and family. Here's Little Grandson on the swings.
Son had a go too.
And then we walked up the hill, into a wood
where quite a few trees were felled by recent storms
and more swinging took place.
So that was all very nice, but today I don't feel very well, and the husband of one of my best friends from schooldays has just phoned to say that she died this afternoon. She had dementia and so it's been very sad for a while, but it's still a bit of a shock. She was always a bit odd in some ways, even as a child, but also a very good friend when we were young, and lots of fun. Life is such a lottery.
So sad! I hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you pick up soon. It is sobering to see ones contemporaries fading and facing difficulties of old age. I’m glad you have some light relief with your family.
ReplyDeleteWill drop you a line soon.
I used to love to swing but now it makes me nauseated. :( I'm so sorry about your friend. Death is normal and natural but never easy to process. Hugs!
