I awoke to a rather miserable looking day and sure enough the rain started to fall. The prevailing winds from the Atlantic had bought us a blessing in the form of rain but it is not always seen that way. I have not been to my coffee morning at All Saints Church in Paulton for some weeks now mainly because I have not been around. I decided to go because I didn't want to get too much out of touch...

The Magic of writing a diary (or journal)
When I started writing this diary seven years ago I had no idea it would grow to the size it has done. Normally my attention span is very small and I soon lose interest and do something else. This character trait shows itself most with books which I start to read and give up about page 50. There are three aspects to doing anything apart from conceiving it. The first is looking forward to...
Snapshots of a journey to London Day 8/8 AND THE COST
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 One thing I hate is packing but we didn't have too much so it wasn't so bad. Fortunately the journey is technically very simple.

Snapshots of a journey to London Day 7/8

Snapshots of a journey to London Day 6/8

I traveled up with Francoise and we alighted at Kentish Town overground. We went our separate ways. She went to have a look what changes had happened in Kentish Town High Street and I went...
Snapshots of a journey to London Day 5/8
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Our journey down to Margate was uneventful. This was our first big purchase using our Two-Together card, which costs £30 per year, On this trip alone we saved 24 Pounds so in my book that is a winner. We arrived at Bromley South station through which most trains to the extreme south east coast go. The whole trip takes around...
