From Rochester, England

-

 

Beautiful gorgeous morning. It is 11 C. I am in Rochester with my another daughter. Lucky me. I have many places to go, many houses, to stay. Every house looks to me like my own. My daughters keep tracking for what I need. I don't ask and things are there to make my stay comfortable. What else I wish. I believe nothing.

Grimsby trip is over now. It was short and sweet. It was for about a week. My daughter took me to so many places, all of my interest. Louth, Cleetorpes sea side, Lincoln, Habbard's  Hill. We had dinner at the famous 'Papa Fish and Chips', by the sea side. She bought me two beautiful dresses and hand bag from Freshney Town Centre. She also got for me, Gold and rust maple leaves brooch from 'Pavers'. Pavers is very good shop at Cleethorpes.

I was at the Train station too. I like it very much, small with overhead bridge and just two platforms. Old traditional style station. I went to Lincoln Cathedral on Easter Monday, I was there at the Mass for couple of minutes. 

I had great time in Grimsby. My daughter's friends invited me to their houses. I got so many gifts. I also get things from Canada to give to them. Nothing is one sided. There is always give and take, to maintain relationships.

I came to Rochester, last night. Started my journey at 4.30 from Grimsby train station. I changed another train from Doncaster to King Cross. Train to Rochester, was from St. Pancras. St. Pancras station is at a walking distance from King Cross. 

From St. Pancras, it was forty minutes train to Rochester. I reached at 8.57 pm. My daughter was at the station with her husband, to receive me and my son. It is great to be with your loved ones.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
