English Roses

London
17 July 2016


Today I am leaving Croydon 
We are on Thornton Heath Road
going towards Grimsby

Houses looking so beautiful with
small front gardens full of
pink and yellow English Roses
Roads full of green trees on both sides
it looks like roads have green shelter overhead

Turning from Croydon to Purley
small hilly area fully covered with green
Red buses so typical of London are passing by
We crossed the big Tesco I used to do
groceries here

Now towards Highway very scenic Drive
hilly patches and grassy lands

My daughter's Mercedez had an accident
now in workshop
so we have to fit in the smaller Peugeot
Fully loaded with all our carry on

We have to take M1 motorway via M25
M25 is circular motorway
it connects different areas of London
very busy road it took double the usual time
One and half hour extra

Passing through  Milton Keyns
Northampton, Peterboro
we are now crossing Newark
Newark is one and half hours
away from Grimsby

Last year coming by Train
I changed train from Newark
no Direct train from London to Grimsby

Temperature is 31 today
from London to Grimsby 4 hours drive but
you can never calculate your journey time
London is so unpredictable with
so much traffic jam
we started at 12 .30pm
reached our destination at 7.30 pm

It is the same time as flying hours
from Toronto to London England

While travelling I try to absorb the
passing scenery, the view
I know when  I will come here next time
the Timing, Season, my Mood and my Health
Everything will be changed
Try to enjoy Today 
The present Moment is everything

    Our Smile is living it large. She lives in a mansion, has kids with Mercedes, trots all over the world and has a readership all over the world! Plus if there are obstacles along the way, she uses her positivity lens to go through it.

    We have so much to learn from her.

    Dave

Bird are busy picknicking

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get involved.

Nature is great

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to be done

Have a taste of Nature

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change of
