HONEYMOON MEMORIES

 

Good afternoon Bloggets. Sunny and hot again. Good Lord, can we have a week of heat? Surely not? I hope so? Well, I’m in my back garden/yard again. Traffic on top form. Drowning out the sounds of our Canary, Irish of course. Again the birds out here are sleeping with the heat, nesting, in the shade from the sunrays from the sky. The heat is blistering so only will be able to stay out here for a short while.

A funny day really, I got up early this morning with Hub, he had to be up for London at half five. I made sure he had everything, though in his words I’m sure, I nagged him. Made him a cup of tea and kissed him goodbye to his taxi.

A new company we are now using, as the other company were really not being fare as they charged for the same run, a difference of sometimes £5? If we had an honest driver, it was between £9 and £11, but if we had a person who thought we can’t see the metre, he would charge over, £13. It was just the principle why we moved and we needed a fixed rate, that company wouldn’t give us one, so bye bye to them, shame really, as their cars were really posh.

Unlike where I used to live? OMG? Can you early Bloggets remember them? I will never ever forget on our honeymoon. We left our exquisite hotel, where we had our wedding in the most amazing venue. We were taken in a Rolls Royce. Like a lady and Gentleman, arriving to our country old mannor. We were greeted by the manager and took to our honeymoon suite. Oh we had the most beautiful time there, I will never ever wake up from such a dream. An absolute escapism from real life how I know it. I just loved our time there. I just sat in the gardens with Hub and just talked, our whispers through the breeze of the tall, trees, forming tunnels through the trekked pathways to the beauty of Northumberland countryside.

We were treat so well. The food and atmosphere was truly a dream.

Well, we sat on our last day, in the drawing room, waiting for our taxi to collect us to take us home for round two of our honeymoon. That one, that part, was different?

The owner sat on the next table. The sun shun through the window, beaming off our glass table, hosting our last drinks, cocktails. The  taste of summer through the long glass, was lovely. The zest of the lime and sweetness of the orange, cherries and particles of ice danced against the glass, as we sipped the summer through straws. The fragrance of June, drifted through an open window. Green grass and lavender. Then, OMG? It all went wrong.

Our old taxi company  came banging down the drive. Fumes from the exhaust and thank God, this time, the breaks worked, OK, they screeched, but they stopped?

Hub and  I went to the door, to meet with our  driver, I’m sure in his best Sunday attire, of what Teen used to describe as an oily stained T/shirt and jogging bottoms.

As we got in the car, my door would not close, I hung onto it, until the car/taxi, was out of sight and sound.

Well, the new company are not as bad as that, at least with this lot, you hope you are going to get home, without watching half of your transport leave you down the road?

Really our old company at our old house, ha, it was an engine from one car, wheels that were patched up, half an exhaust and a gear stick from some old van. Ha, the floor? Hmm. What floor.?

So today, I was supposed to go out with my artist friend. I got the harness for Waggatail, her lead and BB’s lead too. Whistle, bags ball and treats. Oh my dogs were so happy. Then the call from Artist. Sadly her uncle is seriously ill, been took into hospital through the night.

Poor lady?

Her father in law, is also very ill with cancer. Talking of that by the way, my lovely friend Vivi from my old house, told me the sad news of her neighbour dying, he has been ill with cancer for some months. His wife after him, also developed cancer and came off her Chemotherapy, to look after him. Now, what will she, do?

If I were her, not sure I could go it alone. Oh how so very awful for that poor lady and what was her Husband thinking knowing his wife was going to be by herself without him, before he died? Too sad Bloggets. Cancer really scares me, but I’m so not disciplined enough to deal with prevention. Also, my Father in Law, smoked most of his life, OK, he can hardly breathe now or walk, but he was and is a very heavy drinker too. He has spent most of his life outside/sun? His wife,  my Mother in Law, the apsolute opposite. She died coming up to two years, of cancer. He is still with us.

They ate the same, I guess he ate more meat than her as he worked on the oilrigs.

But at home, the same.

 I wish there were more cures for cancer, but I reccon there could be if not for the thought of the population becoming too high? If only we would get rid of the evil people in our society then save the good people?

OK, enough doom and gloom. Back to smiles? Hub in the capital today all day, but tomorrow, working from home and I am out with my friend. Don’t know what we are going to do? Might go to town to buy my aunty, a birthday present, the only thing is, I really don’t know what?She has so many clothes//bags//perfume and jewelry. I bought her loads of lotions and potions for Christmas too. I know that was a few months ago, but, there was enough there to last the year.

Whatever I buy her, it has to go back on the train. She is coming in a few weeks, on our Anniversary. Three years for Hub and I this year. Funny, it seams so much longer. I wish it was, I wish we were together all our lives? I waisted 24 years of my life with my last Husband. Every day was a waste of time and life.

Though, he did really well, in helping my parents. Treat their daughter and Grandson like dirt, but was good to Mum and Dad.

So, teen came in from his English exam. I asked him if he would go with me to the field with the two dogs? Slap me down with a wet lettuce leaf, he said yes?

Out we went, me with Wagga and Teen with Black beauty. We met with our normal, or not so, dog walkers. They are very friendly. Went on the field, oh Wagga had such a great time. Teen kicked the ball for her and she absolutely loved it. Poor old BB, had a glazed look upon her face, not quite in this world, but also had a nice time.

Teen was rather pleasant? Gosh?

So the dogs got their walk in the end thank God.

She by the way, Wagga, guided me well too. Not in the park, she was awful, but on the way there and home again. As we passed the lake, again, she tried to show me how nice and cool the water was, there were two fisherman sitting on a bench in the middle of the water. It is a box, that has legs that fold out and they just sit and fish. It was rather tranquil. As we went under the trees, it sounded like a waterfall, with the lovely blowing leaves.

There were sounds of a person chopping and sawing wood. It sounded so dry, with the sun.

A nice morning. xxx
