Esher
Temperature: 8 degrees this morning with a high of 9 degrees.
Went for pur walk early to beat the rain, and luckily enough, the rain only started when we were nearly back. 8 degrees might not sound that cold, but it felt like ice.
Grocery shopping today at Sainsbury's before going to Garsons for lunch to celebrate Sue's birthday.
Tonight went out to a Chinese place in Esher for dinner with Sue's son and wife, Jo.
All the photos are from Garsons Farm Shop, this is a 5 minute walk from Sue's.Leggi altro

Esher/London
Temperature: 7 degrees this morning with a high of 9 degrees.
Caught the train up to London this morning.
Spent 2.5 hours at Churchill Bunker, what an amazing place. Because it was so cold, we headed back to Waterloo Station, where we had lunch at Costa. After lunch, we managed to find out all the information for our other travels coming up, and where Michael catches the train on Sunday for the Rememberance Parade.
We caught the train back to Esher, and by the time we arrived 3pm, the street lights were on.
While in London today, we noticed a large number of police around on foot and horseback. The streets already have barricades up in place for Sunday for the Rememberance march.Leggi altro

Beautiful autumn day.
We had a lovely time out today. It took us just over an hour to get to Sussex to Weald and Download Living Museum. This is where the film The Repair Shop is filmed. The living museum is a huge place, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Loved the ride through the countryside and all the villages.
All the photos are from the museum today.Leggi altro

Esher
Temperature: 5 degrees this morning and with a high of 9 degrees.
Thank goodness it was nowhere near as cold this morning, but it has been an overcast miserable day. I guess yesterday's chill gave us an idea of what it's going to be like when we go on our trip to the Christmas Markets in Europe. Sue and I went for a walk after taking Michael to the train station to catch a train to London for the Rememberance Day March. Spent the rest of the day watching the parade on TV and knitting another pair of socks, nothing else to do.
There is a storm coming, so we won't be going anywhere in the next couple of days.Leggi altro

Viaggiatore Michael is looking great for the parade. How was it?
12/11/23RispostaTradurre
Viaggiatore Michael said he spent hours just standing around. The parade was really, really long, the folk in the front of the parade had finished, and his lot hadn't moved off. He's pleased he was there but wouldn't rush back to do it again.

Viaggiatore Micheal looks lovely! Is that a poppy from home?

Viaggiatore Yes, it is a poppy from home.

Today, Michael and I went back to Portsmouth to the Historical Shipyard. We spent almost 3 hours looking through it. There were not many people there today, just a couple of school groups so easy to see the exhibits.
It didn't rain, but it was very gusty that made it cold.Leggi altro

Temperature; 8 degrees this morning and with a high of 12 degrees.
Michael and I trained in Waterloo, and then went off to Greenwich while I spent the day walking the streets of London. Even though the sun was out, there was no sun on the streets, and there was a chilly breeze. I had to run back to meet Michael at Waterloo Station in time to catch the train back to Sue's. We both had a great day out doing our own thing.
I loved just looking at all the buildings and people watching.Leggi altro

Temperature: 2 degrees this morning at 7.30 am with a high of 9 degrees.

Today, Sue, along with her 2 friends, went to a beautiful quaint village of Shere. The road through Shere is very narrow. There was a small fabric shop stuffed with gorgeous goodies. We spent over an hour in the fabric shop we headed to the local pub for lunch before driving back to Esher. A wonderful day out.

Esher to Leeds
Temperature: 11 degrees at 7am, with a high of 12 degrees in Leeds at 4 pm.

We had 3 changes to get to Leeds today, and it didn't start off well. Firstly, we received a message from Esher to say there could be delays on our line this morning, but luckily, it was okay. Then, just as we were getting on at, Esher received a message to say our train going to Leeds had been cancelled. Shit!!!! We then had to wait until we were off the Esher train got through the underground to Kings Cross to the help desk to see what our options were. The anxiety was high for a while. But, it all worked out okay, and we arrived safe and sound in Leeds.
We had a short walk around the streets, loved looking at the old buildings.
There are pubs literally on every corner, so we'll try one everyday we are here.

Here are some photos from Leeds, others are up on Facebook
Tomorrow, we are going to Manchester to meet a couple we met on a cruise in the Mediterranean 8 years ago.Leggi altro

Leeds/Manchester
Temperature: 8 degrees this morning and a high of 8 degrees.

Had a walk around before coming back to our accommodation for our Continental breakfast that was included in our accommodation.
Caught the 9.30 am bus to Manchester that arrived 11.40 am, 30 minutes late due to a traffic jam.
Meet up with Wendy and Fred, a couple we met on a cruise 8 years ago. We had a lovely time together walking around the Christmas Markets before having lunch and catching up on what we've both been up to over the years since we last met.
We caught the 3.30 pm train back to Leeds, and it was dark by 3.30pm. When we arrived at 4.30pm, it felt like 7 pm in NZ winter.
Went to another corner street pub for dinner.Leggi altro
