Gave Suki a quick walk in Wendell as Lee and Emma having her later.  Emerging crocuses reminded me that it was about this time of year that I first started this blog. Mike had shower and we both had breakfast - no sign of Hugo! He eventually emerged just before it was time to go, so I lent him my brand new vacuum travel mug to take his cup of tea with him. Mike went to Barnes learner practice.  I had shower and then Lorraine had one.  Did some washing. Lee picked up Suki at 11.30 and also took a couple of bags of food I had ordered for them, and I gave him a map and details of the walk I had done from Denham.  Cooked roasted squash, roast potatoes and red cabbage for lunch.  Mike delayed by traffic so Lorraine and I ate ours and cleared up.  Went to South and West ADM in the afternoon.  Picked up Monica and arrived early.  Helped put out chairs etc.  Mike went ringing but Monica and I stayed in the hall. Went over to the church for the servic...

Tuesday 29 April

Walked over to Patricia's for lunch and to help with tax forms.   Had spicy chick peas, followed by banana rum and raisin ice cream.  Got the forms done and had nice long chat.  Suki had one of her incontinent moments and soaked one of the chairs (and me).  Walked back but got the E3 from Chiswick Pool.  Rather nice as we had the single seat behind the driver all the way so Suki could look out but not get in anyone's way.  Bus became very crowded as there was a tube strike on. Lorraine cooked supper for us - Indian food which was delicious.  Went to first rehearsal of Chiswick Choir summer term - will probably not sing in the concert as won't be able to attend enough rehearsals.

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 ...
