A lovely day with Mum

Up to Edgware. A beautiful warm, sunny day. Peskily missed the train I had earmarked. Then because of working to rule of railway folks, a majorly reduced train service. Had to go to Brighton, then a train to Victoria and tube to Stanmore. Arrived at 12:45 to find Mum chatting with Wynford, now out of hospital but dealing with an unpleasant   autoimmune condition. He is a lovely caring man, with a strong faith that sustains him.

Mum and I had a chat, then zoomed off to The Waggon for some lunch. I had cider with Mum which was sweet and refreshing, then my usual chicken shish with decent salad and chips. Home again, and I dropped off at the garage Tescos by the roundabout to buy some bits for this evening. We had a happy hour and a half looking at old photos, although Mum a little sad when she saw photos of Betty Tostevin. There were some snaps there I did not remember. 

Then some supper and a watch of MASH, but I pushed off after the first episode. Better journey back, as I had looked at the times of the reduced trains. Lorraine was in Brighton, having spent time with Tanya breaking down an allotment shed, and then hanging out with Rosie and Sam Toft. So she was able to collect me from the station at 10:15 and we could go home together. 

Below a snap taken at Baker Street, a snap of the setting sun from Mill Hill Broadway station, and a photo of a handsome young Toby, and with a bit of cropping, a photo of my grandparents Gwen sitting in her front garden and Dave.
