Memories

69 years ago today I set out with my Mother to walk from our house to my Great Aunts house to watch the Coronation on TV. My uncle who lived next door had bought a TV, my grandmother stayed to watch with them. It took us over an hour to walk there, no buses running, and then we had to walk back afterwards......it seemed miles but in fact it was just over 3 miles each way. We watched in awe the spectacle that was played out that day. I was 10. It was not a nice day weatherwise, it rained for most of the day and we got soaked twice!!

Yesterday I sorted the binding for Little Misses quilt, I pinned it on to make sure I had done enough. I need a special  1/4 inch foot for the walking foot that came with my machine, of course the shops are shut now till Saturday, so it will have to wait till next week.

DD2 phoned to say that my grandson and his partner are bringing her over tomorrow to see us. DD2's ex partners father died whilst she was away, the funeral was on Tuesday, so we have a bit to catch up on.

I have towels in the washer, its fine just now so hope to get them dry outside.

Supper tonight is quiche and salad, not decided on a dessert yet. The strawberries are coming on line, I picked 3 yesterday, we need sun to ripen them.
