However when Marian (la-spice) came to stay and we went to see her friend Phil in Abigails Party at the Lace Market I was quite taken with the place. The atmosphere, the people and of course the acting.<br> Anyway last night I went back to watch a production of *Kindertransport*, my youngest daughter came with me as she was interested to see it, she had studied it as part of her drama G.C.S.E. and had had to write a monologue in the style of the play.<br> It was performed in the round, we were right on the front row of a set of two rows and at times the actors were nearly on our laps, how hard must that be, I have done a lot of am dram and of course my daughter has acted, but to be right there amongst your audience must be so nerve-racking. However it was well worth going, the 14year old girl playing the lead was marvelous I am sure we will see more of her.

We did some gentle motoring up and down the river near Stratford we were not intending to go through any locks as we were not sure if enough of us were fit to do it, however Ray wanted to try one so we went through one of the easier ones. We took it steady with Ray and Dawn doing the work on top grandad (ex) and nannie (me) on the boat with the girls and doing the manouvering. It went well and Ray thoroughly enjoyed the fact he had been able to do it. We sailed a little further then turned round and repeated the process on the way back, just as we got through the lock the second time a longboat came up behind us, a family had hired it for the weekend, they shouted to Ray and asked him if he could help them go through the lock as they were new to it. So Dawn and Ray helped with the Lock all of a sudden I heard Ray shouting *let go of the rope* and he made a dive pushing a young girl out of the way and grabbing the rope to their boat, he skidded and was jarred and I thought he was going to go in himself. My ex and Dawn went to help and luckily all ended well.<br> What had happend was the family on the boat mum and dad stayed on the boat with one daughter and grandad and other daughter who was only about 11 and who had taken off her lifejacket. They hadn't a clue at the force the water filling the lock would make, the boat was pushed about nearly putting the girl on the boat off and pulling the girl on the side holding the rope not fastened off the side. If Ray hadn't dived and made a grab and held on tight I am sure one or other of the girls would have ended up in the lock and that could have been that. They were very grateful but off course they couldn't have known just how much effort that had taken him.<br> Yesterday he spent the day in bed having extra morphine and trying to recover. He still enjoyed the day and was glad he had managed to go and so I am sure are the family on the longboat.</span></span></p> <p><span><span> Anyway just a few photos of the day all of which click to enlarge.</span></span></p> <p><span><span><a title="020" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/582/4019582_a01e9d8a5f_m.jpg" alt="020"></a><a title="001" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/584/4019584_6e04283ec6_m.jpg" alt="001"></a><a title="009" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/613/4019613_9accb76543_m.jpg" alt="009"></a><a title="023" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/614/4019614_3f461713a9_m.jpg" alt="023"></a></span></span></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/19/on-the-river-7201293/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/19/on-the-river-7201293/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/17/why-is-it-7185988/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-10-17:/2009/10/17/why-is-it-7185988/Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:06:42 +0200 <p> That the one time I am all ready picnic packed dressed ready to go.

I tidied some family graves as I don't get down very often and I had a trip to Kew Gardens.  When I was small we lived just around the corner to Kew Gardens and most Sundays and holidays we would go there my sisters and I enjoyed putting the tuppence and later the threepenny peice in the turnstile and going in to feed the ducks, walk round the hot house or just play amongst the trees.  Imagine my horror when we had to pay £13 each pounds to get in and £6 to park the car, no I'm not a cheapskate, and I know these places need money to keep them going but how an earth could families today be able to let their children enjoy the pleasures of the gardens as we did on a regular basis.  It is still a lovely place but I am afraid the price somewhat spoilt it for me perhaps because it took away my childhood dreams I don't know or perhaps just I was sad for children missing out on the fun I had.  My fondest memory was lining the pathway with thousands of other schoolchildren waving my little union jack as the Queen drove past waving at us on her way to open a new hot house. Ah!!<img src="http://www.blog.co.uk/image/smileys/060lol.gif" alt=""></p> <p>Anyway here are the photos, the tree top walkway was not there when I was small and it is somewhat unerving to be up that high and swaying in the wind, like being on a boat. The crocus like flowers are saffron and  were growing everywhere apart from that and having more restaurants and shops it was much as I remembered it.</p> <p><a title="012" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/264/4005264_7fdd0f2ab6_s.jpg" alt="012"></a><a title="011" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/265/4005265_5924c93b3c_s.jpg" alt="011"></a><a title="005" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/276/4005276_2dddd717b0_s.jpg" alt="005"></a><a title="010" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/277/4005277_f38f43dd12_s.jpg" alt="010"></a><a title="008" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/278/4005278_98141483ae_s.jpg" alt="008"></a><a title="014" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/287/4005287_bf23c2c272_s.jpg" alt="014"></a><a title="001" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/288/4005288_5cc2311d81_s.jpg" alt="001"></a><a title="116" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/289/4005289_62c889e204_s.jpg" alt="116"></a><a title="002" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/359/4005359_2ea84b3c9c_s.jpg" alt="002"></a><a title="015" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/360/4005360_f85a78d4cd_s.jpg" alt="015"></a><a title="007" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/362/4005362_2053fe541c_s.jpg" alt="007"></a><a title="114" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/382/4005382_43bbafd826_s.jpg" alt="114"></a><a title="009" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/381/4005381_4b8e0e750e_s.jpg" alt="009"></a><a title="115" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/404/4005404_291c13ccbe_s.jpg" alt="115"></a><a title="109" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/406/4005406_08452e9154_s.jpg" alt="109"></a><a title="111" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/409/4005409_34e4f97920_s.jpg" alt="111"></a><a title="013" href="javascript:window.open("><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/263/4005263_f1426515d2_s.jpg" alt="013"></a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/15/when-i-was-down-south-7174158/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/15/when-i-was-down-south-7174158/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/14/messing-about-on-the-river-7171117/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-10-14:/2009/10/14/messing-about-on-the-river-7171117/Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:39:04 +0200 <p>A few weeks ago I went out for the day with my son and daughter in law with my ex husband on his boat.

After taking her to my home and letting her settle in her room we spent the rest of the afternoon chatting before going for a delicious Indian meal in the evening, we chatted and laughed until we were so tired we had to get to bed.<br> Next day I had an appointment in town so we went in early on the tram and once I'd done what I had to we window shopped and then went and had a pub lunch and wine of course <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0">, We did buy some seamless knickers <img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"> in our favourite designer shop *Primark* (pronounced Preemark of course <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0">)<br> Thursday we (I am ashamed to admit) sat until gone noon in our jamas, looking at all the goings on on the blog, drinking coffee and of course laughing and chatting. Then we thought perhaps we should get dressed and go out for a pub lunch <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0">.In the evening we went to the Lace Market Theatre in town to see <a href="http://cabinfevernow.blog.co.uk/tags/abigail">Abigails Party</a> and had a lovely time.<br> Friday my daughter was taken in to hospital to start off the labour but due to being short staffed it didn't happen, but we waited about all day just in case, but of course we just had to go out for another pub lunch <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0">.<br> Saturday we were off to Bedford to see Linda in Scrooge the Musical it was lovely meeting her and making yet another blogfriend and the show was superb.In the evening Marian and I were taken out for another Indian meal by my *friend*<img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"> Colin, they hit it off and before long all three of us were in fits of laughter and having a thoroughly good time.<br> Sunday, well what can I say that was special, I am afraid I had to leave Marian to look after herself but it was of course for a special reason as I was at the birth of my <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/">new grandaughter</a>. In the evening both Marian and I were invited to the other grandparents house for a drink and some food which made a pleasant end to a lovely day.<br> Monday too quickly arrived and it was time to take Marian to her mothers and say goodbye. However we had one last meet to do together we stopped off and saw <a href="http://isadora101.blog.co.uk/2009/10/12/nice-to-see-you-to-see-you-7153150/">Isadora </a> we had a lovely time and chatted away for ages, oh! and had some lovely battenburg cake <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0">. But all too soon we had to be on our way and I got Marian safely to her mothers, had a swift cuppa and then said my goodbyes and set off home.<br> It was so quiet when I got back even the dogs were looking to see if Marian was behind me when I came in. I had a truly lovely week, Marian is superb company and I really hope it is not too long before we get together again.<br> I miss her already <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/13/that-was-the-week-that-was-7160518/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/13/that-was-the-week-that-was-7160518/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/meet-my-new-grandaughter-7148370/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-10-11:/2009/10/11/meet-my-new-grandaughter-7148370/Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:02:22 +0200 <p><a href="javascript:window.open(" title="030"><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/412/3992412_bed4929bd7_m.jpg" alt="030"></a><a href="javascript:window.open(" title="039"><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/413/3992413_e4f4801677_m.jpg" alt="039"></a><a href="javascript:window.open(" title="031"><img src="http://data6.blog.de/media/416/3992416_43c7223eee_m.jpg" alt="031"></a></p> <p> This is Lillea-Ray she was born at 5.48pm weighing 6.11oz she is beautiful and Marian and I are going to join the other grandparents for a drink any time now <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/meet-my-new-grandaughter-7148370/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/meet-my-new-grandaughter-7148370/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/having-a-good-time-7144109/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-10-11:/2009/10/11/having-a-good-time-7144109/Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:57:56 +0200 <p> Yes this week has been one long laugh, spicey and I have enjoyed every minute of it (at least I hope she has).<br> Yesterday we travelled to see another blog friend in a show at Bedford and had another lovely time we enjoyed the singing in Scrooge the Musical and Marian even had mulled wine and her first mince pie <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"><br> Last night we had another Indian meal and thoroughly enjoyed it whilst laughing so much I got hiccups.</p> <p> Anyway baby still not here although waters broken and pains getting stronger so tonight we might be able to open the champagne (I hope) <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p> Have a GOOD DAY EVERYONE <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/having-a-good-time-7144109/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/11/having-a-good-time-7144109/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/10/i-m-still-waiting-7138864/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-10-10:/2009/10/10/i-m-still-waiting-7138864/Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:21:59 +0200 <p> Daughter not had anything else done today, she has just been waiting around on the ward it's going to be a long job <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/10/i-m-still-waiting-7138864/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/10/i-m-still-waiting-7138864/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/09/baby-alert-7132658/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-10-09:/2009/10/09/baby-alert-7132658/Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:36:24 +0200 <p> At last they have taken my daughter in hospital to have the baby la-spce and I are having a little bet with some of the rest of my family on the time of it's arrival.

Tomorrow I am going to see my sister in law in the morning and then go and watch BRENTFORD play in the afternoon.<br> On Sunday I will be meeting a friend from school who I havn't seen for about 30years and we are going to Hampton Court so I am having a nice little weekend away.<br> The calm before the storm as they say <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p> Hope you all have a lovely weekend <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/02/down-south-7085555/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/10/02/down-south-7085555/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/09/30/happy-and-sad-7068095/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-09-30:/2009/09/30/happy-and-sad-7068095/Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:30:47 +0200 <p> Happy yes because my new grandaughter will soon be here (I am off to the hospital with my daughter any minute for a check).<br> But so very sad because for Ray the chemo is not working and the cancer is taking hold, I do not know what to say to them.<br> Anyway yesterday I had a thorough hospital check up because it was thought I might have had a mini stroke, they were wonderful I had neck scan, brain scan (yes I do have one ), ecg plus bloods etc and the verdict I'M FIT.<br> So they have put my little *episode* down to the stress at the moment which I must admit is a lot and so apart from that and the arthritus I'm A1.Which is good to know as I can't afford to be ill. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/09/30/happy-and-sad-7068095/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/09/30/happy-and-sad-7068095/#commentshttp://wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk/2009/09/22/baby-shower-7015482/tag:wordsandthoughts.blog.co.uk,2009-09-22:/2009/09/22/baby-shower-7015482/Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:44:05 +0200 <p> <span>On Sunday all the family came round for a *baby shower* for my daughter Hannah who is only 4 weeks off having her 3rd baby.
