@Mrsmadevans, you sound a lovely daughter and that you cherish your Mum.
I’m making the most of my last two days in the North, it’s been so lovely. My friend and I visited Durham Cathedral yesterday and also had a most agreeable mooch around the shops. I found a new dress and treated myself to new knickers too. My friend has a little niece of four and found a lovely playmobile Camping set, all complete, for £10 in a charity shop, also a Tiger who came to tea floor puzzle. She will save it for when she has a little visitor.
I’ve been to have some waxing done today, £40, very much cheaper than down south. Mum let me do an online Sainsbury’s order for her of iron rations, so I feel more easy about her, and as the bakers in town had no loaves when I went down, I stocked up on plenty of rolls which I shall put in the second freezer she has . I know she is not marooned, she has an excellent milkman, the kindest of neighbours, and we can do an online shop, but all the same, at eighty she is vulnerable.
