Hello everybody. It’s me again June. It seems ages since I last wrote an article, but I know in reality, it’s only been a month!
Yesterday, Wednesday, was a lovely day, but today it’s rained a lot and is windy. But we can’t complain for the time of year. Anyway, I hope you are in good health and all is well in your world. I’m glad that I had my flu in one arm and the Covid jab in the other, so, hopefully I’ll stay well this winter.
Before Christmas, we had been visiting my sister-in-law who was in a care home, but sadly, she died and this has left a hole in our lives.
We’re visiting Dean on Saturday in Halifax. Usually, we have a drink in the lovely Marks & Spencer’s café before we go to have a fish and chip dinner at Pearson’s fish and chip restaurant. This makes a nice change from me making roast dinners.
We still visit Selby every Monday where we go to the park in order to see the lovely gardens. The gardener does his best to keep everything looking good. He is really nice and always breaks off from his work to come over and have a chat with us – it probably breaks his day up as he tends to work on his own. If the cabin is open, we buy refreshments like a cup of tea and a bag of crisps. We then go to the Hub café and buy a jacket potato with cheese unless the weather is poor, when we go to the Abbey instead.
It’s a beautiful abbey with lots to see such as the marvellous carvings and fantastic stained-glass windows. They also have a small place where they serve buns and sandwiches. Over the years, we’ve got to know Angie and Carol who are the main servers. You can also buy cards and small gifts there.
We were lucky enough to have a good and peaceful Christmas and, as usual I did my best to put some thought into the presents that I bought for others – there’s nothing worse than getting unwanted gifts. I hope you had a good Christmas too and have a prosperous year.
Love June. XXX
