We have had a lovely weekend with Chloe and Ed. We managed Canterbury Cathedral - I can now tick that off my list! It is huge and has so many little chapels and a very large crypt. The spot where Thomas Becket was killed is very poignant. It was very busy. We had lunch in a lovely cafe with delicious food - my favourite pate. I now have starters as my main course when we go out for meals and this seems to work well. I am a cheap date! Then a little shopping while Paul 'did' the cloisters. We visited a pottery with such lovely, lovely things - I could have bought the whole shop! On Sunday - after much discussion - we visited Shorne Country park - perfect for a short walk and coffee and cake. Then lunch at the marina - watching boats. Ed's perfect spot! It is amazing to think that their year in Kent will soon be over. It has been interesting to explore more of a county that we didn't know but we are looking forward to having Chloe and Ed nearer. They move in 2 weeks and Chloe begins in Kingston a few days later.
So this week - it is strange not to have the routines of the school day any more both for me and for Ben. I need to find new routines to define my week. I have a mountain of washing to do - still working through bedding from wedding week and holiday washing. I think we must have another families washing as well - it feels never ending! Recovering from weekend, blood test, flowers and I am hoping to do a little cooking now the sickness is lessening, the Proms have started so Paul will be off there a couple of evenings this week before his op on Friday puts paid to any more for a bit. He is anticipating a 2 week recovery period - so our 'nurse' will be busy! I hope all my 'school' friends have wonderful summer holiday plans. I am sorry I haven't got to visit this term. Hopefully next term I will be feeling much better.
