Lest We Forget

Steve Millie and I wenet to the service at the Isleworth War Memorial. There was a largish crowd outside St Bridgets Church which is beside the memorial. Interesting to see the crowd was mixed - with groups of families with young children as well as Service personel, I always find these ceremonies very emotional no matter which country I am in but it is always good to reflect on the price many men and woman paid in those years. At the conclusion we marched behind the band to the Legion where many went in for a drink. After that we walked along the river back to Alton Close.

Mrs Moons Lovely Shop

Today I went and found Mrs Moon's yarn shop. What a lovely collection of yarn, I have bought three balls of chunky Rowan to make cushion covers hoping to get back to the knitting group next Thursday. Wet and rainy today days seem to be getting longer. It has felt really wintry today. Still haven't taken any photos yet!!!

Yet another gap!!. Here I am in London staying with Steve and Millie. It was a long flight over here but luckily the flight was pretty empty so I had a spare seat beside me which is always nice in Cattle Class. Today I missioned off to find the Richmond Bridge Club finally got there after two buses and a London Cab, now I know how to get there I am set. They seem to play most afternoons and you can get lunch and decent coffee if you want it at a reasonable price. Partner and I managed 47.5 so thet wasn't bad as there were a few crafty old ladies there. Have to get used to the short days it was dark when I got back to get the washing off the line. Same old duties wherever you are. People tend to be friendly and helpful and the public transport good. We are going out for dinner tonight as Millie has cabin fever (she has been laid low with a cold but feeling better now. Haven't managed any photos yet but will get on to it.
