Road to Canterbury

It's the 20th of August 2025. I am now at one of my daughter’s places in Rochester. I was in Camberley a day before to spend a couple of days with my youngest daughter and her family.

Camberley is about an hour and a half drive from Rochester. I will be going back to Canada on Saturday the 23rd August. Time is running out. I am busy gathering flowers of happiness from wherever I can to make my days.

Today I enjoyed my time in Canterbury. It's a 40 minute drive from Rochester. Canterbury is a beautiful place famous for one of the oldest Cathedral. I liked the city's old style architecture of the houses, and cafes. I am not so fond of high rise buildings in big cities.

It's 3.30 in the afternoon. The weather is great, not too hot. I am enjoying my walk in the High Street in Rochester. So many charity shops and cafes are here. All colors of flowers by the church are making the atmosphere scenic.The church is next to the historic castle, worth visiting.

My trip to England is nearly done. Just a couple of more days to go. I enjoyed my time with my daughters and their families. To be with your loved ones is always good, but a bit challenging.

We have to be careful not to hurt anyone's feelings. We sometimes get carried away and might not be able to keep a balance. We have to keep in mind that while appreciating one of the siblings in the family, we are not only hurting others but damaging their relationships too.

Think twice before giving any opinion on the matters related to the people in the family. We are not there to disturb the peace and harmony of the household and not to deteriorate our existing relationship.

The purpose of our visit has to be to enjoy our time and to leave good memories behind. We are here to maintain our bindings not to deteriorate our relationships. Make sure not to leave any hot feelings behind.

The sun not yet awake

  It's a cold cloudy morning. The sun is not awake yet. Drowsing under his grey blanket. He must be awake till late at night.  It was raining all night. It just stopped and will start again after a couple of hours at 10. That the weather channel is predicting. It is 7.30, I got up early today. The first thing I do is to check the weather of the day. Time is running out. I have to get ready for my walk. I will miss that otherwise. It will start at 10 and will be raining all day. I have to dress up in layers. It is 8 C. I have to pick my maroon umbrella just in case. That umbrella I got years ago from Dollarama store for three dollars. We have to be prepared while getting out of the house. Not good to get stuck on the way to spoil the trip. I have gloves, my woolen cap and my red woolen stole. This red stole one of my senior club friends gifted to me. Gifts are like souvenirs. Doesn't matter how much it costs. Price doesn't matter. I am all set ready to leave. M...

It's a Beautiful Day

    It's Tuesday, I have my day off. I don't work on Tuesdays. Monday was a close holiday because of Victoria day.  She helped Canada to make the Charter of Democracy. We remember that and celebrate. Everything was closed and only eateries were open. I enjoyed my time in Tim Hortons. It was a very long weekend for me. I will go to work tomorrow to play Darts. I believe work is like a blessing. It helps us to organize our lifestyle. We don't have to worry about how to spend our time. It helps us to be productive and also keeps us away from negativity. Schools are the same to impart a positive change in our life. We have no issues in the earlier days of our life, how to organize ourselves and to chalk out our day programs. In the later stages, we have to find hobbies to be active. Our health issues start coming up with our age. We have to keep that in mind while choosing our activities. We don’t have to be too ambitious while making our plans. With time our ne...

David Austin giving me smile

    The weather is great. Blood red David Austin roses are smiling in the flower bed at the back of my garden.  The flower bed is looking great with pink, purple, white and deep orange flowers. August is nearly done. Today is the 28th. Time flies fast. The new year of 2025 is not new anymore. I came back from England a couple of days ago. It looks like I have never been away from my home. Things are back on track. I started working part time, going to play Darts three days a week. We humans are unique. We are easily able to adjust to the surroundings. Manage to adopt whatever is available to make our time. Yesterday was a busy day for me. I was planning to sort my clothes after coming back from my work. I made it. I organized my closet.  All the clothes were on my bed to sort out. I packed some in my suitcase. I won't be needing those for a while in winter time. It's Thursday, I am off, no Darts today. We have to keep our plans ready to switch to get ours...
