Another thing that Pirate picked up in the supermarket with his cousin's flowers was covid.. that's what he gets for hanging about in a supermarket queue waiting for me to finish food shopping, so he could pay, instead of just pay and go. After all he doesn't like being in shops anyway!!
Anyhow, it was a good trip, a object achieved. Front garden of niece's house cleared of brambles, two skips of rubbish so far gone, old Rayburn out and great niece has started cleaning and clearing with a vengeance!! It's great to see her being positive..I just hope she gets the job she is going for!
We visited the place that Pirate was born. Hinxhill near Ashford
That was the house he was born in and his bedroom was the white window..and it backs on to the Snowdrop Church.. although this time the Magnolia was gorgeous
We managed to catch up with Pirate's nephew on the Sunday..he is a very busy specialist joiner...who isn't taking on any more work at present as without any advertising has about eighteen months of work waiting !
Then off on Monday morning, braving the M25..and glad that we took the 20 mile longer clockwise route to avoid the Dartford toll..all the traffic jams were going anticlockwise!!
We headed up the M1 ...a very boring road!! I was glad to turn off for Castle Donington where we met our late great friend Pete's brother for lunch...sat in the churchyard in the sunshine!!
A lovely town that we will be visiting again!
