I said goodbye to the garden this morning . . .
. . . and caught the bus to Carlisle and the train to London. Both were perfectly on time. A ride on the underground reunited me with Mrs Tootlepedal at our daughter’ house, and after admiring the ripening figs in the garden . . .
I ended up pushing my granddaughter Evie home from nursery past the magnificent Stockwell bus garage . . .
. . . and settled down for an evening meal with her, Mrs Tootlepedal, and our daughter Annie.
All in all, a very satisfactory day.

Oh, nice! Enjoy your time with your family.
Have a wonderful time with family!
Figs – we have a tree here that dies back some winters. Our climate in this area is borderline for figs. In the valley, they do much better. I may dig it up and keep it in the plant room. The only time it made figs that matured was when it was indoors.
They had more food than they knew what to do with last year and this year looks much the same.
It is pleasing to know that you are all together and have time to get to know your granddaughter,
Good that you got there safely, have a lovely stay despite the heat.
I’m pleased all went smoothly
Delighted to hear the journey went smoothly. Hope the heatwave is not too much of a shock!
Good to know that the travel arrangements went to plan. Have a wonderful time with the family.
