Visiting Mum …

Posted under Travelling, Motivation

… well I got there ‘eventually’ - to quote my mother’s neighbour.  It seemed that the fates were conspiring to stop me going up to Newcastle - first I was ill - then Brent was ill - then my mum was ill - then the weather turned bad- and on … and on … and on.

Like I said - I got there AND I am happy to say I got back!!  It’s simply years since I ventured anywhere on my own - let alone on trains right across the country and THEN through a very very busy city centre on the Underground Metro system.  Well - I amaze myself.   OOooooooooooo where next eh?? Julie and Mum

Anyroad - mum was fine - obviously back on her feet as you can see from the photo.  We’re both squinting so much because the sun was absolutely beautiful - clear blue sky - fresh sea breeze and the trees were in bloom.

We spent a good few hours reminising about past holidays - always close to my heart and I came home with quite a few photos to replace all those I lost in the flood.  Mum also asked me to take home my lovely tiny tears doll that I had when I was a child because she was worried something might happen to her.  So - teeny tiny is now sat happily on the bedding box with old ted, looking very pink in her new all in one jumpsuit.  THANKS MUM!

See you again soon hopefully - keep well!!

Love n stuff
