Monday.

 

It's been a good, active weekend. On Friday morning we motored across to Wisbech, stopping on the way to take the above photo of snowdrops and celandines in Outwell churchyard. Had lunch with Gran, then eventually, on to Peterborough, and took the A47 road towards Leicester, stopping to take photo of windmill, probably illustrated in next blog. Nearing Leicester we turned off left and negotiated cross country route, via villages to Carl and Judy's, where we stayed the weekend. Niece Jess popped in during the evening, and invited us to see her new house sometime over the weekend. Dinner was mainly superb cold collation (cold beef, Melton Mowbray pork pie, pickles, etc.)Saturday morning called in on an old friend/business aquaintance, and was able to do business. Had coffee with sister Margaret and her husband, Mark. Hadn't seen their new home. It is a very pleasant semi, backing onto grassland and,eventually, Leicester racecourse. Good to see them. Sunday morning we went (as per invitation)to see Jessie and Paul's new home. Lovely house, built in the early fifties, but kept very up to date -all mod cons. Lovely garden, which they have plans for. House very central, but with a belt of trees beyond their garden so 'rus in urbe'. Younger generation seems to be doing very well , I'm glad to say. Set out for home at 8.30am this morning, got back in time for lunch and then on to lip reading class. Been a full day after a good weekend. So : Good night all.
