Interesting day!

Today my car started dying on the way into work. Anyone who has an old car and has owned many old cars before will know the sinking feeling, the dawning realisation that your faithful friend is about to throw a 7...Anyway I was a little frazzled driving up hills at £10 miles per hour in first and with streams of angry lorry drivers hooting behind me but somehow I got to work and then promptly locked my key in the car!
Luckily a friend was able to get them for me but then I had the journey home to contend with.
I drove even slower and it was abundantly clear as I tried to exit the M20 that I would be climbing my last hill in Harold.
I then spent over an hour in a rather dodgy lay-by with rats scuttling about.
I was very pleased to see the recovery man who told me I was right, Harold would cost too much to repair.
What a lovely car, I have had such a lot of fun driving him. I will be sorry to see him towed away.
Anyway I got home to find my son the worse for wear after a night out in Canterbury! ( What's the betting he is too hung over to catch his early coach back to uni tomorrow morning?
On a positive note there is a train to close to work leaving at 6.20 that will get me to school in time for the start of the day.
There is indeed a silver lining at the edge of the cloud.
Anyone know of a cheap ( £500 max) reliable car for sale?

Happy Mother's Day!

I am very lucky.
I got back from the boot-fair then spending time in my caravan to find a lovely bottle or wine waiting on the table (from my son) along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my daughter.
I sent cards to my step Mum and my Gran who help fill the gap left by my Mum when she died 33 years ago.
You never completely get over losing your mother but having my own wonderful children and good people to support and love me makes things so much easier.
Happy Mother's day Mum. I want you to know that while you weren't here for long I wouldn't swap you for the World.

Now how shall I spend my day?

I have quite a few things to do today and the question is what is the running order?
I need to go into town but want to avoid crowded car parks so really I should get up soon and go but it is so quiet and peaceful where I am right now the temptation is to stay right here and read a book....
The clocks change tonight. I need to remember that as I have a boot-fair in Capel. It is good to go there and promote my businesses and then spend time in my lovely caravan!

weekend!

I am looking forward to turning the alarm clock off tomorrow morning and waking up when I am good and ready!
I am looking forward to walking Ollie and enjoying some warmer weather!

Unexpected chilly weather

I do hope all the beautiful spring flowers and blossom survives this recent cold spell. I was out de-icing my windscreen this morning and I have even had to get my gloves out again!
Apparently the weekend should be warmer.
That would be lovely!

Watching old films!

It is so nice having my son visiting. We watched a film this evening. I have seen it before a long time ago but it was as chilling as I remember. The film was Silence Of The Lambs. t is great getting home from work and having a lovely evening watching a film.
It is freezing cold outside this evening- I hear it is set to warm up for the weekend which will be lovely!

out with my son.

I have just come back from a lovely meal at The Old Gate Inn in Canterbury. I went there with my son. There was a roaring fire which you wouldn't think would be needed but this evening it was pretty cold.
I am back home now with Ollie curled up next to me. he is nice and warm!
