Tuesday 21 May

Went to lunch with Anne C - at 11 am!  We went to the arabian restaurant near Shepherd's Bush market and had a drink first and then had food at just before 12.  I had a couple of arabian coffees which were like turkish coffee and then we shared falafel, borek, and lamb pastries.  Delicious.  Anne had to be at the funeral directors at 12.30 so I walked there with her and then bought one of the large meringues from the shop next door.  They were not as nice as they looked and not very sweet but at least I know that now!  I walked on to Lahori and got sufficient curry stuff to make up 6 meals plus Mike's lunch when I got back, so I froze the 6 meals for when I am away in Turkey. In the evening sang in the choir for special service at St Nicholas for induction of David as Sheriff.  Lots of dressing up!  Bishop, judges, trumpeters etc.  Enjoyed the singing very much.  Mike also rang but Monica had found a replacement for me to save my wrists which was much appreciated.  Then went to Chiswick Choir practice - via chinese take away for crispy shredded beef and special fried rice.  Yummy.  Found sight reading the Banner of St George ok so I guess I might be singing in the concert after all.  Committee meeting after the rehearsal so Mike went to pub and got a lift home.  I got in about 11 and was in bed asleep before Mike got in.

Roving Ringers/Cottage holiday Leominster

28th July - 4th August 2018 Photos     Itinerary Mike was based with Rovers at the YHA in Leominster , while Suki and I stayed in a cottage a few minutes drive away -  The Owl Barn  near Kimbolton. Just a few days after the Barnes Summer Trip we were off on the Roving Ringers week.  At the last minute it seemed that no-one was going to be organising the catering, so I ended up taking this on - with the help of a suggested menu and shopping list from Becky, who would be providing the meat.  I cooked a vegetable pasta sauce for the first night, and then did a huge online Sainsbury order to be delivered direct to the hostel on the Saturday night.  This worked extremely well - and it was certainly much more pleasant to sit in the garden on my computer than pushing two trolleys around a supermarket and then packing/unpacking the car.  It was just as well we did it like that as there wasn't much room in the car for shopping once we had got all our stuff and the handbike and

Wednesday 3rd December

It was lovely having a houseful this morning.  Sam said the futons were comfortable, which is good to know.  I took Suki for a walk and then went to Westfields with Lorraine, Sam, Amanda and Bethany.  We went to the food court so that the others could get something to eat, and I bought a couple of wraps from the Lebanese stall for lunch - a falafel one and a halloumi and olive one. I went home once they started shopping as there was not much I needed.  We shared the wraps, having half of each one each.  They were excellent and very filling. I took Suki out again in the afternoon and then we went off to Baden Powell House for Goldsmiths rehearsal.  We got baguettes from Pauls again, and I also took a flask of coffee as it was the final, long rehearsal tonight. We got home quite quickly on the tube and I finished off the coffee and had a sake before going to bed and watching another episode of Doc Martin.  Rather annoyingly this one didn't follow on from the previous two (which had b

Thursday 31 July

Went up to the Woodland Trust car park at Bovey Valley woods and explored the path off to the right which went along by the river and was very pleasant.  I then followed a little path through the woods at the end, over a stile, and came out on the track a little way down.  Did the Hisley bridge circuit to get back to the car park.  Went to handbells in the evening - Lisa came too.  She rang 11-12 and I rang 9-10 and had to turn the pages and generally help her!  I have moved up to P and she now has the L plates!
