Greeen Green Grass of Home

Monday, 1st September.

Sunny September morning, but it didn’t last long. Just when Kathleen arrived to pick me up,the rain was pouring down. Enjoyed lunch at Longniddry Inn, though it’s becoming a bit shabby. It’s just been taken over, so hopefully it‘ll improve soon. Food was good though and the company of course. Discussed schools, past and present, books we’ve been reading, Times Quiz, American and British politics, local and national news and most importantly our families, especially our grandchildren.

Sun had came back by the time I came home, so watered and deadheaded my pot plants and sat up the back garden in “Betty’s Bower” that John made for me.Feel very close to him there.Kay phoned.Started her new job as PA to Sir Timothy Clifford, so was telling me all about it. Sounds really interesting and more suited to her talents than the last job she had, plus the hours are more flexible. Margo phoned just after her. Ailie came home with a certificate from her History teacher for being the best at designing a poster about the history of the 20th Century. Glad she's settling down fine at
secondary school.

Something wrong with my email.Receive messages, but can’t send them. One of the boys will look at it later.Bobby phoned.Going to call in on his way home tomorrow to look at it.

Sunday 31st August

Raining heavily,but makes the grass greener Don’t think it will grow so quickly now. At church in morning,then at Sandra’s, as she had an open house day for neighbours and some friends from school. Good laughs and lovely food.Choir started again on Friday. Thought about giving up when we finished up for the summer, but changed my mind.I’ll maybe change back again if it’s a severe winter! Anyway, doing some more demanding pieces. More of a challenge.Out with Jean for tea again on Saturday. We’ve decided to do this on a regular basis, maybe once a month.Doing fine with Times Literary Quiz, but meeting friends from school tomorrow, so I’ll take it with me.
