It is Bank Holiday Monday! Yeah Woohoo and I shaved my legs and armpits got out my shorts out, but watching my son play rugby at his rugby club yesterday I was freezing and as luck would have it and today, it is super cloudy, feeling that it would be the case.
Going out for a coffee it is chilly, but went for a walk and my son wanted to get the bus back from town to home and Henry spilt his milk in the coffee shop but never mind.
On Saturday after he had been to football club and I did Parkrun, we went for a coffee then too and went to Battersea Power Station, but my son had a bit of a funny tummy so we went to toilet and jumped on the bus back and went for a bite to eat, he was feeling better.
My son's not so good with the heat, hence why we've not been abroad with him yet and better in the colder weather, but he was fine in the end, so we had a nice meal on Saturday and then went back home, to then stop in for the rest of the day, ready as he has Rugby club and won best player again, which was good and I then did my radio show.
I do a show on Epsom Hospital Radio on Sundays 4pm to 6pm. I am off next Sunday as we are off to a birthday party, so I will be back doing my show the following Sunday. https://www.epsomhospitalradio.org.uk/on-air/presenters/carrie-challoner
Today it is VE Day and not watching it and I do wish I still had grand parents. They have been gone from this world for a long time, but I do still miss them and I think about other people's grandparents and Norma and Jess, who do videos on Social Media, who are so sweet, if you ever watch their videos and I was lucky to have a good set of grandparents. I spent a lot of time with them and would see them most weekends. We would go on holiday with them and spend yearly celebrations, like Christmas and the first Christmas without them, my nanny Florrie Skinner, was hard.
"It is the No Mores" that I feel.
No longer going to have a cup of tea, go for pie and mash, to a market or go to the races, which we did a lot when my grandparents were alive and were great days out.
I'd see them most weekends and so will be thinking of them today, on how they lived through the world war and post war. Having to have rations and not having a TV, no cable or internet. They went through so much, way before I was born and in the world. Yet my nan even when she retired still was active, would still put my grandads bets on, shop everyday and travel to visit family in Scotland and bought the family together.
My grandad on my mum side worked for London Transport up until he retired. He was a bus conductor and my nan used to work in Peter Jones in Sloane Square and then caretaker of Bolton Gardens in London and then lived in Earls Court. Life for went in a circle, whereby, where she was born in Chelsea was where she had spent her last days until she died in 2000.
So I hope VE Day goes well and get to see the fly passed and the celebrations.
I plan to write my daily blog, in the week and hope you have a good Bank Holiday Monday.
Many thanks for reading,
Carrie X
