Day 90
More family & London 🎡
March 1 in England ⋅ ☀️ 48 °F
The remainder of our time included more family visits. We saw my grandad, who I hadn’t seen since 2019. We visited my aunt and cousin, who is becoming a young adult quicker than I’d like! We got to watch Henry’s stepbrother play in his school orchestra. Henry’s dad was having a knee replacement surgery, so Henry was able to help transport him. I visited with a friend who I’ve known since I was a baby; it’s always the best time catching up.

I also made a trip up to London, to be in the city and see a few people. One of our new friends from our Philippines boat trip kindly gave me a free facial at the fancy spa where she works— it was such a treat. I had a wonderful day wandering around, doing some rare shopping, and enjoying the sunshine in one of my favorites cities. I met a former coworker for dinner and heard about her transition back to living in the UK.

The two weeks ended up being much busier than expected, the downsides being that both Henry and I weren’t feeling 100% most of the time, and that we didn’t get as much planning done for our upcoming South American portion as we hoped. But it was very much needed to see all our people and we’re glad we came.Read more
Traveler I love that you were able to see so many family members! What a trip to see your Grandad. I haven't seen him since 1992.

Esher
Temperature: 8 degrees at 7.30 am and a high of 12 degrees at 3 pm.

I'm still not feeling the best today, but I am on the mend.
Michael and I went for our normal morning walk this morning at 7.30 am, a very pleasant morning, not cold at all. I never tire of looking at the old houses.
We went out to a local pub for a traditional Sunday roast. We are still not used to dogs in pubs, especially around food. But they were all well behaved.
We took Sue, her son Michael and his wife Jo. Sue's Michael and I had lamb, Sue had Turkey, and my My Michael and Jo had the Beef.
Had an enjoyable couple of hours together, then when we came back, I went and had a lie down. Had a lovely snooze, and when I woke up, I felt a huge change with my cold. The corner has turned, hurray!!! Roll on tomorrow.
Applewood cheese, onion and chutney toasted sandwich for dinner.Read more
Traveler That festive jumper has really been useful! Such a happy photo.

Traveler Oh GREAT about walking up to feeling on the mend.

Traveler After your afternoon sleep and not having to be sparky (cos of sleeping) I mean. Look at those HUGE (whatever they are called, can't temember) puffed-up things that go with roast beef!
12/11/23Reply
Traveler They are called Yorshire Puddings, and they were massive. Michael ate mine.
12/11/23Reply
Traveler I love love love Yorkshire puddings. Can’t have a roast dinner without them. Delicious.

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.Read more

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.Read more
Traveler Michael is looking great for the parade. How was it?
11/12/23Reply
Traveler 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.

Traveler Micheal looks lovely! Is that a poppy from home?
11/12/23Reply
Traveler Yes, it is a poppy from home.

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.Read more

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.Read more

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.Read more

Esher/Claygate
Temperature: 9 degrees this morning with a high of 13 degrees, but it certainly didn't feel like it.
It was a wet, cold, miserable day, but we still went out for an hours walk in the morning. Went through a few private roads where there we some huge houses, sorry didn't take my phone, too wet.
Went to Claygate another pretty village to see the Rememberance decoration on top of the postbox, gorgeous.
This afternoon, we went round to Sue's friend Ann for a knitting session and a cuppa.
The photos today are from the village at Claygate.Read more

Temperature: 9 degrees this morning and a high of 13 degrees.
What a beautiful fine day, just the breeze a bit chilly. We were able to have a decent long walk today. The footpaths are thick with the autumn leaves.Spent the rest of the day, pottering around the house, Michael did some painting and touch-up jobs for Sue, and I managed to finish one sock.
Went to the local pub to see what it was like.
Sue's son Michael and his wife Jo invited us for roast chicken dinner tonight 😋
They live 5 minutes up the road.Read more
