I went home on Thursday from Oxford.
3 trains! Oxford to Reading,
Reading to Guildford, Guildford to Havant and then a taxi to home on Hayling
Island. I had a wonderful time with my
two little grandsons. Bobby, the baby,
is now 12 weeks old and smiling all the time and beginning to chuckle and
gurgle. Tobyn is Tobyn and just
scrummy! He and I had our cuddles in bed
on Sunday morning before he went to get some toys and never came back! As I think I said last time – staying with
them is quality time – I will have to find an excuse to stay again once we are
home!
On Sunday we all went over to Hayling Island to visit the donkey sanctuary. I sponsored a donkey for Tobyn at Christmas,
but he didn’t really understand when I tried to tell him about HIS donkey,
Bertie. This was the second time we had
taken Tobyn to see the donkeys, but the first time was a disaster and he threw a
bit of a wobbly as a 2 year old can!
Fortunately, this time was a success and he loved it.
Some of the donkeys were wearing stockings to keep the flies at bay, I
have to say that Bertie did look funny!
This is a close up of Bobby! I
get so involved with the boys that I forget to take photos.
Today I took my 3 trains to get back to Oxford again. I was a bit concerned about the last train
(from Reading) as it was going to Newcastle!
I wasn’t too sure about ending up there.
As it was the first stop was Oxford – phew! Close to where I was sitting were three
ladies, not travelling together but just chatting. They had all been visiting family, son and
daughter-in-law, and were not being very nice about them – mainly the
daughter-in-law. It made me chuckle and
very pleased that I have a super daughter-in-law 😊
Richard and Muffin were at the station to meet me. Muffin had his eyes fixed on the gate waiting
for me to come through but somehow he missed me and I was right in front of him
before he realised – he then went berserk.
As we walked back to the boat, I noticed a little bridge with a huge
spider’s web – I hope the spider isn’t huge!
We had a Tesco delivery in the afternoon – why walk down to Waitrose and
struggle back with shopping when you can get it delivered!!
Tonight is our last night on the Thames ☹
